Game Of Secrets

Game of Secrets by Dawn Tripp In 1957 Jane Weld was eleven
years old when her father Luce disappeared. His skiff was
found drifting near a marsh empty except for his hunting
coat and a box of shotgun shells. No one in their small
New England town knew for sure what happened until three
years later Luce’s skull rolled out of a gravel pit a
bullet hole in the temple. Rumors sprang up that he had
been murdered by the jealous husband of his mistress Ada
Varick. Now half a century later Jane is still searching
for the truth of her father’s death a mystery made more
urgent by the unexpected romance that her willful daughter
Marne has struck up with one of Ada’s sons. As the love
affair intensifies Jane and Ada meet for their weekly
Friday game of Scrabble a pastime that soon transforms
into a cat-and-mouse game of words long left unspoken and
dark secrets best left untold.
