New York Times bestselling author Wendy Corsi Staub returns to
Mundy's Landing--a small town where bygone bloodshed has become big
business.
Hair neatly braided, hands serenely clasped, eyes closed, the young
woman appeared to be sound asleep. But the peaceful tableau was a
madman's handiwork. Beneath the covers, her white nightgown was
spattered with blood. At daybreak, a horrified family would discover her
corpse tucked into their guest room. The cunning killer would strike
again . . . and again . . . before vanishing into the mists of time.
A century ago, the Sleeping Beauty Murders terrified picturesque Mundy's
Landing. The victims, like the killer, were never identified. Now, on
the hundredth anniversary, the Historical Society's annual
"Mundypalooza" offers a hefty reward for solving the notorious case.
Annabelle Bingham, living in one of the three Murder Houses, can't
escape the feeling that her family is being watched--and not just by
news crews and amateur sleuths. She's right. Having unearthed the
startling truth behind the horrific crimes, a copycat killer is about to
reenact them--beneath the mansard roof of Annabelle's dream home . . .
