The Phyllis A. Whitney Collection Volume One
(2018)Hunter's Green, Dream of Orchids, and The Winter People
An omnibus of novels by Phyllis A Whitney
Three spellbinding romantic thrillers from the New York Times - bestselling and Edgar Award - winning "master of suspense" (Mary Higgins Clark).
Now in one volume: Three of the most haunting novels by the "queen of the American gothics" (The New York Times).
Hunter's Green: When Eve North returns to Athmore, it's to win back the love of her estranged husband, Justin. But she's dangerously unaware of the secrets in the sprawling English estate - and the motives of those who protect them, including Justin's brother, who once preyed on Eve's emotions; Justin's manipulative new fiancee; and Justin himself. Eve's only ally appears to be the old family gardener who has carved from the green-black yew a magnificent chessboard, both a topiary masterpiece and a warning.
Dream of Orchids: Laurel York has come to Key West at the request of her estranged father, expecting to heal old wounds with the celebrated author. Instead, she's greeted with the unexpected: her father's cold reception, two weird stepsisters, and whispers of a woman's bizarre death in a greenhouse full of orchids. The only one pleased with her presence is her father's mysterious collaborator. But in a house of bad blood and family secrets, trusting the wrong person could cost Laurel her life.
The Winter People: Manhattan art curator Diana Blake is looking forward to finally meeting her husband Glen's family. Unfortunately, when she arrives at the lakeside Victorian mansion in the snowy Jersey hills, the greeting is as ice-cold as the frozen Gray Rocks Lake where Glen's mother mysteriously drowned. But it's Glen's twin sister who casts the most sinister shadow. Because it's here in dark halls of High Towers, where a strange sibling rivalry will draw Diana into a chilling and inescapable game of family secrets.
This trio of atmospheric psychological thrillers once again proves why Phyllis A. Whitney "is, and always will be, the Grand Master of her craft" (Barbara Michaels).
