(3) 4-6 Herculeah Jones Mystery series. In this seventh book, Byars makes playful use of Gothic novel conventions by introducing a sinister tower, an innocent captive, and an evil impostor. All await Herculeah as she investigates the strange goings-on at the Hunt mansion. The brief chapters move along at a fast pace until Herculeah has an exciting encounter with the villain and (of course) solves the mystery.
