The Late Mrs. Fonsell

Irene Haverly was caught in a trap. With no husband and no proof that she had ever had one, she found she was to have a child. And so she struck a bargain with stocky, ambitious Jason Fonsell, the illegitimate half-broher of the fahter of her unborn child. She needed a husband and Jason wanted the money Irene's aunt was pathetically eager to supply. Soon after Irene entered the ugly portals of the Fonsell House as Jason's unloved and unloving bride, the Fonsell house was visited by sudden death. Here, set in a historic whaling village and on a colorful Caribbean island is a spellbinding tale of Gothic horror and romance.
