<b>An unapologetic murderess becomes the guardian of two very unusual girls. What’s the worst that could happen?</b><br><br><b>“You’ll never look at the wicked stepmothers of fairy tales quite the same way again.”—Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of <i>Reluctant Immortals </i>and <i>The Haunting of Velkwood</i></b><br><br><b>“Camilla Bruce tills the macabre for all of its Edward Gorey glory . . . At the bottom of this particular garden you will find a wicked sense of humor.”—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of <i>What Kind of Mother </i>and <i>Ghost Eaters</i></b><br><br>Clara Woods is a killer—and perfectly fine with it, too. So what if she takes a couple of lives to make her own a little bit better? At the bottom of her garden is a flower bed, long overgrown, where her late husband rests in peace—or so she’s always thought.<br><br>Then the girls arrive.<br><br>Lily and Violet are her nieces, recently orphaned after their affluent parents died on an ill-fated anniversary trip. In accordance with their parents’ will, the sisters are to go to their closest relative—who happens to be Clara. Despite having no interest in children, Clara agrees to take them, hoping to get her hands on some of the girls’ assets—not only to bolster her dwindling fortune but also to establish what she hopes will be her legacy: a line of diamond jewelry.<br><br>There’s only one problem. Violet can see the dead man at the bottom of the garden. She can see all of Clara’s ghosts . . . and call them back into existence. Soon Clara is plagued by her victims and at war with the gifted girls in her care. Lily and Violet have become a liability—and they know <i>far</i> more than they should. . . .
