Description

The Julius house is not exactly your usual kind of wedding present, but it’s what Roe wants, and wealthy Martin is only too happy to oblige, even though a whole family did disappear from under its roof a few years back. Roe loves the house and, being something of an amateur sleuth, she’s equally intrigued by the missing family. What could have happened to father, mother, and daughter Julius? One moment they were there, the next they were gone. Only Mrs. Julius’s mother remains, waiting for her daughter’s return. With a house to decorate, a mystery to investigate, and a new husband to enjoy, life for Roe in Lawrenceton, Georgia, seems pretty good, until everything starts to unravel. If the walls could talk, what stories would they tell? What secrets does Martin hide? And who are Shelby and Angel Youngblood, the couple Martin installs in the garage apartment near the Julius house? Martin says that Shelby and Angel are there to help her, but are they really her jailers? When Roe becomes tbe victim of a vicious attack, she realizes she is under siege. Isolated at her house with people she can’t really trust, Roe finally discovers the fate of the Julius family – a fate that she, too, may come to share.
