Lord Lacy's daughter, Emily, is persuaded by her parents to marry the ageing Lord Dalrymple. After all, he has a title, Earl of Morpeth, and a mansion, Crookhill Abbey, that is even more extensive than Lord Lacy's mansion in Buxton. However, when Emily gets to Northumberland, she finds that Crookhill Abbey is little better than a crumbling mausoleum.
Crookhill Abbey is not quite a Jane Austen sequel - but there are echoes of Jane Austen's
Pride and Prejudice - also Eliza Parsons',
The Castle of Wolfenbach, and Ann Radcliffe's,
The Mysteries of Udolpho. However, there are also many new characters, including the heroine, Emily, the anti-hero, Lord Dalrymple, Thomas, a struggling artist, and his aristocratic lover, Catherine, all tangled up in an original plot that leads them to - the horrors of Crookhill Abbey.
