Remote houses, travel and hidden danger recur throughout Anne Maybury’s romantic suspense. The Minerva Stone, The Terracotta Palace and The Midnight Dancers are among her later Gothic titles, while Jessamy Court and Ride a White Dolphin likewise place women inside unfamiliar settings where relationships and motives are difficult to read. Maybury also published under the name Katherine Troy, and her wider bibliography stretches across several decades of romance and suspense. The prose is atmospheric, accessible and more concerned with mounting uncertainty than procedural detection or graphic violence. These books belong to vintage Gothic romance and romantic suspense, especially for readers of Dorothy Eden and Phyllis A. Whitney who enjoy travel, isolated houses and concealed family histories.
