Synopsis
Inside the walls of a palatial Newport estate, a violent struggle was beginning. Christy Moreland had come back to Spindrift determined to uncover the truth behind the mansion's most tightly held secret: the reason for her father's death. It was a truth that, at times, Christy felt she was barely strong enough to face, for it meant openly confronting Spindrift's domineering mistress-her mother-in-law, Theodora Moreland. Yet it was a battle that Christy knew she could not escape, especially if she was to free her young son from the obsessive and destructive hold the Morelands had come to exert over him. As Christy searches out the mysteries that haunt Spindrift - and the people in it - she slowly unveils a tightly woven web of deceit that only murder can continue to conceal.... A spellbinding novel of romantic suspense from the best-selling author of "The Turquoise Mask".

From Library Journal
Christy Moreland refuses to believe her beloved father, Adam, committed suicide at Spindrift, despite the overwhelming evidence. In fact, Christy is convinced that her mother-in-law, a powerful, intimidating woman, knows the truth. All roads converge at that Newport, RI, mansion. As clues are unearthed regarding Adam's last days, it becomes clear that Christy's own stay at Spindrift could have deadly consequences. Shelley Thompson, a seasoned narrator, resists the opportunity to over-dramatize the narrative, allowing the story to do the work. Her selection of voices centers each character at their heart, rendering them distinctive and as accurate as a single-point-of-view narrative allows. While certain aspects of the 25-year-old story are rather dated and melodramatic, it contains no sex or profanity. Recommended. Jodi L. Israel, MLS, Jamaica Plain, MA
