The Golden Unicorn
written by Phyllis A Whitney
read by Liza Ross
On the southern shore of Long Island, in a foreboding East Hampton mansion, a violent encounter is in the making. Courtney Marsh has arrived at one of the island's great ancestral estates in search of a truth that has eluded her a lifetime: the identity of her own mother and father.
The only clue she has to her past is a pendant she has always worn-a pendant bearing a golden unicorn-long an insignia of the strong-willed Rhodes family, one of East Hampton's most prominent, yet most reclusive, clans.
But from the moment of her arrival there, Courtney's reception is quite different from any that a long-lost daughter might expect. For Courtney Marsh's fight to discover her heritage was unearthing the hushed-up facts behind a murder committed twenty-five years before...a very private scandal, the unveiling of which could not help but force the murderer's hand again...
my comments;
I started this book out of boredom and finished it because I just had to. I think I have outgrown Whitney's gothic style.
