Women's Fiction | Thriller Psychological
An exploration of domestic derangement, as sinister as Daphne Du Maurierโs classic Rebecca, that plumbs the depths of sibling rivalry with wit and menace. Oh, to be a Belovedโone of those lucky people for whom nothing ever goes wrong. Everything falls into their laps without effort: happiness, beauty, good fortune, allure. Betty Stash is not a Belovedโbut her little sister, the delightful Gloria, is. Sheโs the one with the golden curls and sunny disposition and captivating smile, the one whose best friend used to be Bettyโs, the one whose husband should have been Bettyโs. And then, to everyoneโs surprise, Gloria inherits the family manseโa vast, gorgeous pile of ancient stone, imposing timbers, and lush gardensโthat was never meant to be hers. Losing what Betty considers her rightful inheritance is the final indignity. As she single-mindedly pursues her plan to see the estate returned to her in all its glory, her determined and increasingly unhinged behaviorโaided by poisonous mushrooms, talking walls, and a phantom dogโescalates to the point of no return. THE BELOVEDS will have you wondering if thereโs a length to which an envious sister wonโt go.
