BOOK SYNOPSIS:
There were thirteen steps to the cellar. They were steep and they were narrow—but was a fall down them enough to have caused the twenty-seven deep lacerations to her aunt’s head?
Callie Harris travels from her home in Alabama to her aunt’s former mansion in Maine to unravel the haunting forty-year-old mystery of Dr. Laverne Harris Doss’ brutal death.
Why wasn’t a murder weapon found? Was her uncle justly convicted of the killing? Was his mistress involved? Or was the murderer the bearded stranger rumored to have arrived by train that night?
In the charming town of Richmond, located on the banks of Maine’s historic Kennebec River, Callie uncovers the community’s darkest secrets—a botched police investigation, a betrayed widow’s lie, a dead woman’s blackmail, and a wealthy philanthropist’s shame. The web of intrigue extends far beyond Callie’s suspicions and its connection to her personal story pierces her to the core.
REVIEW:
I have to say… What a surprise! Not how the book ended up everything about it. The writing was done well and the suspense was great.
I really enjoy a book where I think I know the “who-dun-it”/”the truth is out there” info but find out that the author was able to trick me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen enough with me. But this one did! I was sure I had it all figured out…. But nope!
I enjoyed the characters which were plenty but not confusing and who always had a bit of suspense to them.
I liked Callie who gave off that “I only came here for the house” feel and ended up with so many more questions than answers.
Pleasantly surprised!
