by Anne Edwards ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 8, 1968
What really happened in the large old house off the London heath when eldest brother Irish, and his siblings Althea and Liam and Eugene and their chairbound Uncle, Stanley and his daughter Mary Agatha (who had been sealed up alive in it) were all found dead? And had Luanne, the only survivor, been more than a little in love with the glamorous Irish, as inferred by his mistress? Well, now after ten years in retirement (in a nursing home) Luanne emerges and is forced by Hans, who falls in love with her and had wanted to write a book about the Woodrow mass murders, to retrace the past which she has submerged and which now surfaces, slowly. . . . This then is the modern gothic with all the soft options the ladies will enjoy--romance--suspense--escape. A silk and satin straightjacket.
