Synopses & Reviews
Someone in a peaceful Pennsylvania town has a brutal murder on his conscience...
...but who and why remain a mystery-- until Meg Kessinger moves in. The house she's inherited from an aunt is dilapidated, but she adores it-- and sets about restoring it with the help of a hunky, laid-back lawyer; a handsome, witty artist; and the secretive husband of her new girlfriend down the road. But soon Meg's rustic rhapsody is blighted by telltale traces of an unseen intruder's search for...what? Her determination to piece together rumors about the sexpot who lived there before her, and the convenient death of an old lady with a twitchy heart, will drag her into a perilous undertow of greed, cunning, and desperation that could turn her dream house into a waking nightmare...
Synopsis
Even the peaceful countryside can hold danger...
When Meg Kissinger moves to the old house in rural Pennsylvania she expects a simpler life. But it's soon clear that that's not what she finds. An old woman is dead and Meg's 12-year-old neighbor is suspicious. And why did the flashy tenant who'd rented Meg's house leave without a trace?
"A story packed with vibrant characters, unhackneyed dialogue, and menacing tension". -- Kirkus Review (Starred)
