- Summary
- "The Fall of 1957 in southern Virignia was a seemingly idyllic, even prosperous time. A young housewife, Charlotte Bliss, lives with her husbadn, Hasbrouck Preston "Press" Bliss and their two young children, Eva Grace and Michael, in the gorgeous Bliss family home. On the surface, theirs seems a calm, picturesque life, but soon tragedy befalls them -- a series of shocking deaths, with apparently simple explanations. But nothing is simple if Bliss House is involved. Charlotte, nearly crippled with grief, feels increasingly isolated from everyone around he. The only thing that brings her solace is going through the old photos and curiosities left behind by her mother-in-law, the former mistress of Bliss House, who was always kind, but distant. Then Charlotte makes a startling discovery that points not to tragedy, but to murder. How far will Charlotte go to discover the truth? And how far will she get without knowing who her real enemy is? Though Bliss House may promise its inhabitants what they want, it never gives them exactly what they expect." -- dust jacket
