Grace Against the Clock (A Manor House Mystery)
“I practically bounced with excitement. A secret door. In my own home. The thought made me giddy.
I remembered being enthralled, back when I was a young girl, with a special on television featuring a reporter opening up Al Capone’s vault. The event had been spotlighted in the news for weeks and the country was antsy with anticipation. My mom, in particular, had been breathless awaiting the great unveiling. She’d insisted that the whole family gather together to watch.
Even though Geraldo... Rivera must have been shocked when he opened the vault and found nothing, I don’t believe his disappointment was nearly as acute as my mother’s. My mother’s father—or the man who, up until recently, I’d believed was her father—had had a dubious connection to the late mobster. Even though my mom didn’t much care for her father-of-record personally, she’d always been interested in histories of the shady characters he’d purportedly hung out with.MoreLess
