Family ties so strong you can't escape...
Mary Olivia Pentecost, known as Mop, was born into one of the wealthiest
families in the country--and one of the most guarded. Now, two years
after her mother's mysterious death, Mop is seeking closure on the
disquieting tragedy by returning to the New England seaside estate of
her cloistered Aunty Liv--once her closest relative and confidante.
But behind the walls of the isolated estate, the shadows of the past are
darker than Mop imagined. The puzzles of the family history are not to
be shared, but unearthed. With each revelation comes a new, foreboding
threat--and for Mop, the grave suspicion that to discover Aunty Liv's
secrets is to become a prisoner of them.
How well do we know the people we love? How well do we want to know
them? The answers are as twisted as a tangle of vines in this
throat-clutching novel of psychological suspense.
