The House at Staverton

Joanna Turner hasn't spoken her aunt's name in years—nobody in the family has. But when Pauline Mowbray is released from prison after eighteen years for killing her husband, she reaches out with a shattering claim: she never struck the blow. Dying of cancer and desperate for the truth to survive her, Pauline begs Joanna to return to the old family house in Staverton and unearth what really happened that night. What Joanna finds will shatter everything she believed about her mother, her family, and the nature of betrayal itself.
