I like the variety in Broster's endings—some tragic, others happy. She does both well, and it keeps you guessing which one the next book will be :D

Having poked at some of her books in a disorderly way, I've noticed this several times already, so I've been wondering if this open-ended thing became deliberate in her writing later

Hmm, that's interesting! Perhaps she was keeping things open for the possibility of writing more about the same characters later on? In any case, I shall pay attention for what happens with open-ended stories in the later books...
