There is Miriam's former housekeeper, Shelly Dyer, who left the family's employment years ago under mysterious circumstances. There are Miriam's children: Theodora, who gave up everything to assume the role of caretaker,Diana, who seems just a little too eager to inherit her share of the estate,and Richard, whose longtime grudge against his mother has curdled into gleeful contempt at her deterioration. But it's Delphine who comes in for the greatest scrutiny when they learn the shocking news that Miriam's will cut off her children, leaving her granddaughter almost everything. As tensions rise, Delphine is emboldened to start asking questions: not just about her grandmother's death, but about her life, and the love story that defined it as the rest of her memories faded. The trail will take her into the past, into dark places 8212 and eventually, onto thin ice. "

The dysfunctional Caravasios clan has gathered at the Whispers, the childhood home in Bar Harbor, Maine, of 85-year-old Miriam Caravasios, who has dementia and is in a nearby assisted living facility. The house, built by Miriam’s father, who made his fortune in the 1920s selling bootleg liquor to the Mafia, is a veritable labyrinth of secret passages and hidden chambers. At 19, Miriam married the dashing Theodore Caravasios, who died in a boating accident a few years later. Miriam now returns to the Whispers in the company of her private nurse, Adam, for what turns out to be her final meeting with her three adult children and her devoted 26-year-old granddaughter, Delphine Lockwood. Hopes of inheriting Miriam’s wealth keep her children bickering. When Miriam dies of apparently natural causes, Delphine wonders whether it might be murder. A subtle shiver of menace runs throughout the narrative, told in part from the point of view of Miriam at significant points in her life.
