Shades of Twilight is the most unusual book that I
have read in many years. It deals with incest by
mutual consent. I thought that was more disturbing
than the fact that distant cousins were in love.
There is a murder and a secret that went untold for
ten years.
First cousins Roanna and Jessie were seven and
thirteen, respectively, when Roanna's parents
were killed in a car accident along with Jessie's
mother. Lucinda lost both her children and
daughter-in-law.
Davenport is the wealthiest family in Tuscumbia,
Alabama. Lucinda is the heir of Davencourt.
Lucinda Davenport is a manipulative person, whom
over the years had done her best to control her
family. When Jessie's mother died in the car accident.
Her grandmother Lucinda planned Jessie's future the
night of the car accident. She wanted Webb Tallant,
her great nephew, to married Jessie. Webb will be the
next heir to Davencourt. He agreed to married Jessie
when they were old enough to marry.
There was a loud scream that woke everyone in the
household. It was Roanne who found Jessie's body
lying on the floor. Someone had hit her head in with
a fireplace iron. Webb was the prime suspect, then was
cleared. He had an alibi.
Several weeks later, Webb got up one morning packed
his clothes and left Davencourt. Ten years later,
Lucinda hired a private investigator to locate Webb.
Lucinda told Roanna to bring Webb back home. Roanna
was able to persuade Webb that Lucinda needed him.
It didn't take much encouragement on her part. Webb
was secretly in love with Roanna. For ten years, it
haunted him who killed Jessie.
The last chapter revealed the murderer who killed
Jessie. I was very surprised. After Jessie was
murdered, I tried unsuccessfully to figure it out.
Linda Howard didn't let on until the last chapter.
Shades of Twilight is a classic mystery novel. There
were other characters that were intriguing as well.
Lucinda's relatives were living in the Davencourt estate
and were nothing but freeloaders.
I recommend Shades of Twilight.
