It was a case of tender, loving murder.
The four children had perfect lives. They lived in a golden family filled with happiness. But when their father dies suddenly, their mother throws themselves on the mercy of her parents who had disowned her long ago.
Their mother promised they would stay only long enough to inherit the fortune. But gradually she forgot how much she adored her family. Kept hidden in the airless attic, the children now lived alone except for fleeting visits from their mother. Visits that became increasingly infrequent and increasingly deadly...
Flowers in the Attic: the compelling story of a family's betrayal and heartbreak, love and revenge.
'Beautifully written, macabre and thoroughly nasty! it is evocative of the nasty fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood and The Babes in the Wood, with a bit of Victorian Gothic thrown in. ! What does shine through is her ability to see the world through a child's eyes' Daily Express 'Makes horror irresistible' Glasgow Sunday Mail 'A gruesome saga! the storyline is compelling, many millions have no wish to put this down' Ms London 'There is strength in her books -- the bizarre plots matched with the pathos of the entrapped' The Times
