Nancy Bilyeau and a Faux Gothic Castle

Nancy Bilyeau, a long time writer friend whose historical thrillers are first-rate, has just put out her third novel featuring artist and spy Genevieve Planche. I hope you enjoy reading about Walpole’s faux Gothic castle that provided the inspired start of this engaging read–and the start of gothic novels.
