Castle Mirage — Alice Brennan
In the hands of the devil!
Elizabeth expected happiness with her artistic husband Stephen in his ancestral home on top of a mountain. But too many unpleasant incidents and an assortment of weird characters -- including Stephen's wild brother Abel and a retarded girl -- intruded on Elizabeth's dream. Who had reason to kill the happy bride?
CREEPING TERROR
She walked slowly toward the garden. The flowers, shrubbery and grass were still wet from the storm of the night before. The wind had blown dead branches from the trees and hurled them about the ground. Elizabeth peered at the ground as she walked. She did not attempt to deny to herself that she was looking for footprints, proof that she had not dreamed the night before.
