Excellent story

"In 1910, Sarah Cunningham leaves her childhood home for an arranged marriage to Henry Cobb, an affluent widower twice her age. She adjusts to life with Henr;y, yet finds her patience tested by visits from Henry's sisters, domineering, unstable Agatha and timid Millie, still suffering from a romantic but tragic past. When Henry dies under mysterious circumstances, Sarah is wrongly imprisoned for his murder. After her release, she turns to Henry's son, William, to help her undover the truth. However, as Sarah and William's love deepens they remain unaware that a secret haunts the Cobb family - a secret that threatens to destroy the life they share."This paragraph is quoted directly from this wonderful books cover as I could not have summarized it better. It is hard to understand why somebody somewhere has not seen fit to review this novel which is every bit as good as any of Ruth Rendell's. I have just discovered Rae and will plow on until I have read them all. I am thankful that she has written quite a few. The reader knows thae secret in this family from the beginning, but of course, Sarah and William don't know it until the end, many years later. What makes the book so interesting is that the currents and subcurrents are so interesting and you wonder all the way who did what and why. The end is both a surprise and not really a surprise. I hope somebody stumbles across this review, reads the book and lets me know what they think.
