A millionaire's Florida estate becomes a sinister trap for his bride in this classic gothic romance from "a superb and gifted storyteller" (Mary Higgins Clark).

On the Florida coastline stands Poinciana, the Logan family's fabulous mansion. Inside its storied walls are the two most prized possessions of patriarch Ross Logan: his invaluable collection of Oriental art and, even more priceless, his new bride, Sharon. When Ross proposed, it seemed Sharon's dreams had come true and her tragic past was at last behind her. Now she'd be safe and find happiness, a family, and a home as the wife of one of America's wealthiest and most celebrated oil and banking magnates.

But upon her arrival at the sprawling Palm Beach estate, Sharon can't ignore the strange undercurrents of hostility emanating from everyone who resides at Poincianaâ??from Ross's principal assistant to his reckless and resentful daughter from a previous marriage to his strange and guarded mother, who has isolated herself in a cottage on the grounds. And when Sharon starts asking questions about the Logan family history, even Ross turns from a dynamic and solicitous husband to a dark and silent menace. As secret after secret is revealed, Sharon begins to doubt her sanityâ??and safetyâ??in this isolated house of strangers.

A New York Timesâ??bestselling author and recipient of the Edgar and Agatha Awards, "Phyllis Whitney is, and always will be, the Grand Master of her craft" (Barbara Michaels).

Poinciana may be romantic suspense, but it also offers, through two examples, the folly of young women with mother issues who are so desperate for love and attention that they seek it unwisely. The title is from a fictional mansion designed by the heroine's mother-in-law, Allegra Logan. Sharon Hollis Logan, daughter of famous singer Ysobel Hollis, is her husband's third wife. The mansion is beautiful and filled with wonderful (and valuable) objects, but the most important employees disapprove of Sharon. Her stepdaughter, almost the same age she is, is ready to hate her. Sharon hasn't been in this house of secrets long before she learns something that devastates her. Who is playing nasty tricks on Sharon? Who is stealing some of the art? Is there anyone whom Sharon can trust?

The dustjacket for the Large Print edition has what look like violet-brown palm fronds on a cream background. (Yawn) ( )

Yet another wonderous book by Mrs. Whitney, but then again, would I ever expect anything different? Poinciana, was wonderful and kept me turning the pages. I have however come to expect certain things, and I was not disappointed. I was able to pick out who would do what, and the characters did not disappoint me. Description of the house was amazing, character development was superb, the book overall was fantastic. I definitely recommend. ( )
