    "description": "Bestselling author Riley Sager returns with a Gothic chiller about a young caregiver assigned to work for a woman accused of a Lizzie Borden-like massacre decades earlier.**\n\nAt seventeen, Lenora Hope\nHung her sister with a rope\n\nNow reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope\u2019s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.\n\nStabbed her father with a knife\nTook her mother\u2019s happy life\n\nIt\u2019s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope\u2019s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night. In her seventies and confined to a wheelchair, Lenora was rendered mute by a series of strokes and can only communicate with Kit by tapping out sentences on an old typewriter. One night, Lenora uses it to make a tantalizing offer\u2014I want to tell you everything.\n\n\u201cIt wasn\u2019t me,\u201d Lenora said\nBut she\u2019s the only one not dead\n\nAs Kit helps Lenora write about the events leading to the Hope family massacre, it becomes clear there\u2019s more to the tale than people know. But when new details about her predecessor\u2019s departure come to light, Kit starts to suspect Lenora might not be telling the complete truth\u2014and that the seemingly harmless woman in her care could be far more dangerous than she first thought.",
