The third Carson Springs offering from Eileen Goudge gives life to the character of Anna Vincenzi, a wall-flower who finds herself the main suspect in her sister's death. Of course, it's Carson Springs, so you know everything is going to turn out okay in the end (the beauty of books like these).
Monica treated her sister Anna with such disdain. She had all the money and made Anna work for every penny while taking care of her. She committed suicide leaving the town to believe Anna had killed her. Luckily, another girl saw Monica drown. Finch, an "orphan" wanted to find her mother in the worst way. She was 17 years old and searching. Her boyfriend, Lucian was really good to/for her. Anna & her sister Liz had fallen in love w/married men. Anna's Marks' wife was in mental institution. She filed for divorce & he married Anna.

--Chinese Proverb
Just as she was stepping into the carriage, the good fairy said, "Mind, whatever you do, don't be later than twelve," and warned her, that if she did not leave in time, her carriage would turn back into a pumpkin, her horses ... (show all)to mice, her coachman to a rat, her footmen to lizards, and her dress to rags..."
