Red Wolf's Room

There are many elements that make a great story, but I believe how characters are written and portrayed makes a story memorable and rewatchable. Look at the TV show  Buffy the Vampire Slayer with its many seasons. They themselves were referred to as "The Scooby gang" various times.

Summary Footsteps in the Dark by Georgette Heyer features three siblings, Celia, Margaret and Peter, who inherit a priory and its chapel in a countryside village near Framley from their uncle.
