Little Mary was found beaten to death on her porch in 1972, just like her grandma, Bead Baker was back in 1932. The townspeople of Homeville, Virginia wondered if there was a connection between the two deaths because both women supposedly had "the gift". Cotton Lee Penn, a polio victim, was hired by attorney Max Mayfair to investigate. Max was representing Walker Kane, Little Mary's fiance who was afraid he was going to be blamed. There were a lot of secrets in that little town, especially in the Baker family. Tower Lowe sets the background of the family's lives in both generations then leads the reader to speculate who-dun-it. There is plenty of guilt to go around for all the characters and the ending is sure to surprise you. 4 Stars
