Shell games : a novel / by Kistler, Bonnie,author.;
"A glamorous, madcap mystery following a wealthy woman of a certain age whose life is turned upside down by love -- and true confessions. Kate Sawyer is a somebody, not only in Florida, but up and down the East Coast. A hugely glamorous and successful real estate developer, she has more money than she will ever need. At the age of seventy, Kate finally gets back together with her childhood sweetheart, and they get married in a gigantic wedding that is the talk of the town. Everybody, especially her thirty-something daughter, is thrilled, even though it's always been just the two of them. On their wedding night, the new husband turns to Kate and makes a stunning confession about a well-known crime from years ago, that he says he has committed. But did he? Or is Kate losing it? Or maybe he's just trying to gaslight her, so that he can take control of her assets. There's a prenup, of course, but there are always loopholes ... Shell Games is a delicious psychologically thrilling dramedy of errors that will make you wonder if these people are paranoid, crazy, or just as confused as the rest of us"--

Cursed daughters : a novel / by Braithwaite, Oyinkan,author.;
"From the author of smash hit My Sister, the Serial Killer comes an exuberant new novel about the burden of inheritance and the nature of family. When Ebun gives birth to her daughter, Ewa, on the day they bury her cousin Monifa, there is no denying the startling resemblance between the child and her dead cousin. So begins the belief, fostered and fanned by Ebun's aunt and her mother, that Ewa is the reincarnation of Monifa. Ebun, who had a complicated relationship with her late cousin, is averse to the idea, but as the years pass and similarities between Monifa and Ewa increase, she finds it hard to be with her daughter without feeling haunted. What's more, she's haunted by secrets: she refuses to tell Ewa who her father is, and she's still keeping another, deeper secret that she never revealed to Monifa before her death. Ebun, to the consternation of her mother and aunt, begins to drag her daughter to various spiritual guides, determined to separate her spirit from her dead cousin's. Ewa, now a young woman, is determined to strike out on her own path ... she does not tell her mother about the dreams she has where Monifa visits her. In the past, Monifa plunges into the freefall of new love, unaware of the tragedy that awaits her. Braithwaite's sophomore novel is the story of three women, of a family, of prejudice and superstition; it asks us what it means to be given a second chance, and how we live with what we've been given."--
