  • "In the summer of 1968, Jo Becker ran out on the marriage and the life her parents wanted for her, and escaped--for one idyllic year--into a life that was bohemian and romantic, living in a rambling group house. It ended when Jo returned home one night to find her best friend lying dead in a pool of blood. Now Jo has everything she's ever wanted: a veterinary practice she loves, a devoted husband, three grown daughters, a beautiful Massachusetts farmhouse. An old housemate settles in her small town and the fabric of her life begins to unravel."@en
  • "Is another study in familial crime and punishment. But this time, her wife and good mother is accessory to more than emotional malfeasance. Jo Becker has everything a woman could desire: a loving spouse, contented children, and a nice dog or two.

Her Aquarian illusions came to an abrupt, bloody end when one of her housemates was brutally murdered. Now this unhappy era returns in the person of Eli Mayhew, who had been the odd man out in Jo's boho household. His appearance is both tantalizing and upsetting."@en
