Everybody Adored Cara

Everyone In Town Knew Cara Sumner…

And everyone adored her -- her husband, who discarded his first wife to marry her; Johnny Merrill, the boy next door, who wore her locket; her maid, her hairdresser…probably everybody but young Bibsy, rejected by Johnny, and Sumner's first wife, Helen, now living in an alcoholic world.

And then Cara was found strangled with her own scarf in her own bed. But by whom? Garfield Sumner, who had a seemingly unbreakable alibi…Helen Sumner, brooding in her silent house…Johnny, whose love Cara had rejected…even Bibsy? Those were the questions confronting the handsome private investigator who entered the case, only to be drawn into a love entanglement himself…part of the strange web woven by Cara Sumner.

Here is the revealing novel of a woman who changed the lives of all who knew her—and the quiet New England town in which it happened.
