Seldom Go By

By Bill Carrigan

Roger Kent, a recent college student, accepts an invitation to join his aunt Esterleen's little colony of displaced persons at her mansion in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. She believes that her guests, if true to themselves, find their 'true destiny' at Seldom Go By. Roger is drawn to Valerie Wilson, who tips him to his aunt's eccentricities. These include harboring an old beau, Dr. Clyde Oppian, a disgraced obstetrician. Oppian's wife evicted him for cheating with Linda Schneider, a gorgeous, affected troublemaker. Esterleen tolerates Linda to keep Doctor Clyde around. But Linda won't leave Roger alone. Their brief affair, which she advertises, upsets everyone. And the murders begin. Roger is accused of a ghoulish slaying and must prove his innocence. He is further caught up in Valerie's peril as she becomes entangled in intrigue and commitment. They find that things are seldom what they seem at Seldom Go By. Events proceed along gothic lines, with mounting tension. You may want to skip the last two chapters lest they make an indelible impression.
