Essentially the same book as "Topping from Below". This update of the standard Gothic novel throws in a lot of S&M and a helping of bestiality. I would characterize it as "Nancy Drew meets the Marquis de Sade". The mystery was not particularly mysterious, the sex not particularly shocking and the characters not particularly likeable. Thing is, this author writes pretty well. Her prose flows smoothly and does not feel stilted or clumsy. I am assuming that, since her author photographs on the book jackets are obscured by shadow, she is using a pen name. Laura, whoever you are, give us a better book. Or have you already done so under another name?
