Abby had always wondered who her father was, so when, after her mother's death, she finds a photograph of him with a note indicating he was the great-grandson of poet Evelyn Aubrey, Abby is intrigued… especially when she discovers that Evelyn went missing a century earlier, presumably murdered by her famous novelist husband. Armed with minimal clues, Abby sets off to find her father's family, and along the way she might just solve the mystery of Evelyn's disappearance. Told through the interwoven narratives of two indominable women, this is an engrossing novel of family secrets, literary crimes, and, ultimately, female triumph. (AG)
