The Gates of Montrain — Willo Davis Roberts
HOUSE OF WOMEN
…but which one was the murderer? Was it Sylvie, hiding behind a mask of insanity, plotting the destruction of imagined enemies? Or was it Olivia, matriarch of the family, who could see her world dissolving even as she watched? As sister's, they made a strange pair…but Montrain was a house filled with insanity. It was not affliction of a single generation…there were the twins, Iona and Iola, who did not honestly grieve the death of their sister, for it left them free to try for the hand of her husband. And even the children seemed touched by the strangeness…there was Vanessa, who at the age of eleven could talk calmly of death, and of suicide. Five female players…and one of them guilty of at least two murders! Would Sandi be next?
