Overview

"The past never leaves us... Jill Madison and her brothers have never forgiven Quinn Parsons for driving drunk and killing their parents. How could they? When Parsons returns to Apple Grove from his six years in prison, he's looking for redemption. But his thoughtless actions, so long ago, hurt more residents than the Madisons, and murderous motives abound when it comes to Quinn Parsons. His lifeless body is soon found at the bottom of a staircase. And who threatened him in front of a large cross-section of the town? Jill's brother, Andy Madison. When Andy is arrested and charged with murder, Jill and her bestie, Angie Emerson, seek to prove his innocence without forgetting that if Andy is not the killer, someone else is-someone dangerous who may be watching. Meanwhile, the Old Friends senior group at Jill's art center is rehearsing a radio-play of Oscar Wilde's ""The Canterville Ghost,"" a ghostly story of forgiveness. Strange happenings convince Jill there's a real ghost at the art center. To prove to herself she's not going crazy, she begins to investigate the center's dark history. She discovers the past is never far away."
