Suspense | Mystery
A retired teacher and a baker snoop into the lives of Bottom
Ridge residents, the decaying Midwestern rural town where
citizens are strangled by secrets. Finding a child's diary
in the body cavity of a Toni doll piques Lena Vincenti's
interest. Wanting to know what happened to the child accused
of arson and murder, Lena and her friend Alice Tricklebank
set off on a road trip. The dark secret of the little girl is four decades old. To
keep it in the shadows, a woman is killed with a baseball
bat. The windows and tires of Lena's pink van are destroyed,
and Alice's dive for the ditch prevents a SUV from teaching
her to fly. Danger continues to plague both women. Can two
women in their sixties fight back even against a gun? But,
the town doesn't know Alice Tricklebank reads people. She
may flinch at the cruel nicknames they have for each other
and be stunned how a town's guilt warps judgment, but she
doesn't give up easily. She has her own friendships to
preserve and her own secrets to keep.
