House of Shadows
"I HAVE WARNED YOU NOT TO COME HERE," SAID THE OLD WOMAN, HER PALE EYES TRANSFIXING THE FRIGHTENED GIRL. SHE PUSHED THE RIFLE CLOSER, NUDGING CORINNE'S ARM WITH THE STEEL MUZZLE. "I OUGHT TO BLOW YOU TO BITS."

Corinne wished she had never taken the job with Minna as companion-secretary. There was more going on at Tamarind than the old woman and the shotgun. The murder of the dog, the accident in the quicksand, and the eerie cries in the night. Someone wanted to scare somebody...to death!

Was Minna the target?

Or was Corinne the likeliest victim?
