Synopsis: A woman searches for her ailing aunt&’s hidden riches in this &“perfect blend of history, mystery, family secrets and suspense&” (Kate Braithewaite, author of The Girl Puzzle). In 1929, Blanche Magruder lies alone in a home for the elderly and infirm without a penny to her name, suspected of being of unsound mind. Meanwhile, her house, a crumbling ruin in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC, is regularly ransacked by thieves looking for a fortune believed to be hidden there. When distant niece Margaret O&’Keefe is made executor of Blanche&’s estate, she becomes embroiled in the treasure hunt, embracing it as a welcome escape from her own financial and marital woes. But as Margaret continues to investigate, family mysteries begin to unravel. Soon, she begins to question whether Aunt Blanche is a senile fool, and whether she really belongs in the home. But can she find out where the lies end and the truth begins? Shrouded in gothic undertones, The Spinster&’s Fortune is a strange and twisting journey through tangled webs of family deceit.
