Literary Nymphs Pseudonym: Sphinx Minx
Kenneth Stokes’ life changes when his father Herbert tells him he was the product of a liaison between Dad and an 18-year-old cook. Kenneth’s mother had become depressed after several miscarriages and refused to participate in sex. The servant had initiated the relationship, for her own devious reasons. Mother has committed suicide, and Kenneth goes in search of the now 40-something Molly.
Molly is wily and evil and manages to haunt and taunt both members of the Stokes family. The relationship between Father and Son is strained and Herbert’s health deteriorates. It’s spooky and surreal, just like a paranormal tale should be.
Buried bones and disappearances add to the suspense. But the trunk never makes it to the basement and the final words are “to be continued.” I found no mention of a sequel on the publisher’s site.
So this is great as far as it goes, but I desperately want to read the conclusion.
