A whole summer to absorb two hundred years of Overton ancestry. Their lives, loves and secrets. Especially their secrets. A Red, Red Rose is a cozy mystery set in rural Southwest Virginia at Moore Mountain Lake. A Southern gothic, the novel involves an historic mansion, quirky characters, and an unpredictable ancestral ghost.
From the moment she enters her room in the oldest wing, Ashby feels an invisible, enfolding presence. She learns the room one belonged to a woman named Rosabelle, but no one is willing to talk about Rosabelle. Ever present is a force Ashby never sees, only feels. Candles light themselves, notes from an old lullaby fall from the ceiling, the radio tunes itself each day. And roses appear in the unlikeliest places.
Are the roses a symbol of love, or do they represent something dark, something deeply evil?
Mystery, history, romance and a GHOST!
