Mistress of Peacock Walk

Rose Culhane leads an unremarkable life. She lives in a quaint apartment on the North Side of Chicago and has an ordinary job that pays the bills and affords her a yearly adventure—to visit her cousin, Kathleen, and her family in Ireland at the Culhane ancestral home, Peacock Walk. In an instant, however, her life becomes quite remarkable. Rose is notified of the death of Kathleen, whose husband died tragically the year before. And to make matters even more unbelievable—she is now guardian of Kathleen's two children and inherits the ancestral home. Rose must now travel to Ireland for a different adventure. Through her sadness and confusion, she finds comfort in Meghan Quigley, an attractive, charismatic friend of her cousin, who knows more about the Culhanes than Rose realizes. But the strange circumstances surrounding her cousin's death and the now ever-present Meghan have Rose worried for the two children in her care. When Rose seeks to know what happened, she finds more questions than answers. And the mystery behind Peacock Walk begins.
