Before the advent of psychological and romantic thrillers, there was the adult suspense novel. And one of the masters of that genre was Phyllis A. Whitney. It was refreshing to read a book that didn’t cover two generations, wasn’t told by the point of view of more than one character, and contained no sex. This story is told by the main character, Molly Hunt, as she reviews events that have already occurred.
Molly Hunt is a mystery writer in
Long Island when she learns she was stolen from her aristocratic Southern family as a baby and sold to her loving adoptive parents.
She also learns that she has an identical twin sister. Eager to meet her twin and learn
about this newly discovered past, Molly travels to her family homestead in
Charleston and finds herself surrounded by deceit, distrust, and mystery.
Phyllis
Whitney wrote 76 books in her 65-year career, including 38 adult suspense novels.
