Summary
After writing a story about her late mother, Iris Greenfeder returns to her childhood home at the remote Hotel Equinox in the Catskills, intending to write her mother's biography, only to stumble into the middle of a haunting mystery.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Iris Greenfeder, ABD (All But Dissertation), feels the âbutsâ are taking over her life: all but published, all but a professor, all but married. Yet the sudden impulse to write a story about her mother, Katherine Morrissey, leads to a shot at literary success. The piece recounts an eerie Irish fairy tale her mother used to tell her at bedtimeâand nestled inside it is the sad story of her death. It captures the attention of her motherâs former literary agent, who is convinced that Katherine wrote one final manuscript before her strange, untimely end in a fire thirty years ago. So Iris goes back to the remote Hotel Equinox in the Catskills, the place where she grew up, to write her motherâs biography and search for the missing manuscriptâand there she unravels a haunting mystery, one that holds more secrets than she ever expected. . . .
