"The Greens," Candace Conover's old house set far back at the end of a shadowy willow tunnel, was gloomy in itself. And its gloom was enhanced by its inmates: Candace's mentally defective son Lennox; his efficient nurse, Frances Garis; Ann Gardner, who had once loved the man before an accident had injured his brain; Philip Manitaw, who owned a mortgage on the house and lived there simply to plague Candace; Philip's nephew and ward Kendrick, who hated Phil but had to live with him until he was forty or lose a fortune; Philip's beautiful but cold wife Leatrice. Then gloom was compounded with terror when murder struck--not once but three times. Ginny Adair decided to help her husband Mark, Seattle Lieutenant of Homicide, solve the case, and by sticking her nose in where it didn't belong made herself at once suspect and potential victim. ~ description from the book jacket.
