Plot Summary of The Hyannis House
"An excellent "whodunnit" novel set on Cape Cod. Romance gets intertwined with the investigator and potential suspects. The lead character's extraordinary abilities keeps the reader riveted. The story is believable and gets the reader's attention from page one with its description and character development. A real page-turner!"
Ann souza, Resident Scholar
