Thirteen-year-old Lucy Sexton's world is upended when her mother's previously unknown identical twin appears one day and takes up residence. When her aunt and mother are viciously attacked and one is murdered, Lucy must determine the true identity of the survivor. Though the gothic tone is somewhat overdone and Lucy's romance feels contrived, the mystery is engrossing.
