The Guilty Secret
Pemberton, Margaret
Scratch the veneer of opulence at the "Enclave", a cluster of villas bought for the movie star Rosalind by her millionaire husband, a and a reality of fear, frustration, guilt, and love betrayed glimmers darkly from beneath. Rosalind's cousin Jenny is there to fight her despair over killing a woman and child in a freakish auto accident. The stranger, Jonathan is burdened by some darkness in his past. Gentle Mary, too, has something to conceal. When Rosalind is found dead, the knot of intrigue tightens. Blackmail, passion, revenge - each takes a turn in this haughtily told story of malice and mystery among the beautiful people.
