vintage romance with a mysterious location

When Sheila took on the job of looking after a difficult small boy who lived alone with a housekeeper in a big gloomy mansion, she realized at once that there was something about the situation. But she had no idea of the tangle of mystery into which she was about to be plunged. The man who was her employer was one of the mysteries. There were odd rumors and hints about the women in his past. As time went on, Sheila felt more and more strongly that she ought to resist the attraction she felt towards him, but could she? Was is already too late to turn back and settle down with her quiet, unexciting fiance? The story is set mostly on a lonely part of the Yorkshire coast, with a vividly contracting interlude in the South of France. Robin, the boy , is violent, or at least the housekeeper , Mrs Mole, says he is . Richard Grieg, Sheila's employer trusts Mrs Mole completely and will not hear anything against her. This is a big mistake. This is rather a gothic book, Robin talks about a black lady that always comes back. There seem to be some people in the house that shouldn't be, mysterious rooms and other odd things. Sheila is already engaged when she arrives and Richard is married, but his wife is missing. (...)
