The Catalain Book of Secrets: A Book Club Pick!
Description
From the Amazing Charts bestselling author of Unspeakable Things, Bloodline, and Litani comes a gripping paranormal mystery featuring four generations of Catalain women battling the curse that threatens to destroy their already-divided family.
Katrine Catalain returns from London, broken and bereft, her life there destroyed. She finds Faith Falls just as she left it, a snug little Minnesota town constructed over a mystery, a place where the most impressive building is the gorgeous Victorian mansion she calls home.
The Catalain women have always had an uneasy truce with the people of Faith Falls, but Katrine's return brings all the bad blood to the surface, dredging up secrets, bitter curses, and more than one unexplained murder. The Catalain women must find a way to make peace with their past or lose everything that's ever mattered to them.
This lush, intoxicating tale weaves together fear, love, mystery, and magic. Read this thrilling Amazon bestseller today! If you'd like to spend more time with the Catalain women, check out Seven Daughters, a Catalain novella.
