Scent of Summer Magnolia

Más información sobre el libro

A young widow, Charlie, returns to town concerned for her matriarch aunt, Kirsty Christensen, having received strange letters from her. Upon arrival Charlie is immediately plunged into a nightmare of mystery, lies, secrets and murder. The old gothic mansion she borrows is full of whispers, the occasional thump in the night, and a lurking stalker which all play on Charlie's nervous disposition. But the creeping threat underestimates the Christensen spirit. Repeating the stories and sagas of her family to her two small sons, Charlie finds a source of strength in remembering the celebrated feats of the ancestors. Guided by the haunting fragrance of her dead mothers perfume and supported by the unfailing trust of her school friend, Michelle, Charlie stands up for herself, overcomes her fears and goes in search of the real story behind the fire that destroyed their home, causing the deaths of her mother, husband, and Kirsty's sister. Exactly how or even why they all died that night is lost in Charlie's blanked memory, and it seems it is a mystery someone is prepared to kill for.
