Absolutely loved this book!! First one by Phyllis Whitney I have read, but I'm definitely going to read more of hers.
Twenty-five years ago, Susan's mother fell mysteriously to her death. And Susan's maternal grandmother, a proud doyenne of the ballet, may know all the answers. But someone is worried about what Susan knows.
These four books are a set in box "Rainsong", "Listen to the Whisperer", "The Turquoise Mask", and "The Ebony Swan"
Terror and murder at its best.
Wonderful author, I love her books.

From the jacket
Susan Prentice is a woman alone. In the past six months her father has died, she has called off her engagement to a cynical young doctor she no longer loves, and she has begun to question the ethics of the medical profession of which she is a member.
Now at a crossroads in her life, Susan decides to make contact with her maternal grandmother whom her father had forbidden her to see since Susan's mother's death from a tragic fall almost twenty-five years earlier.
There are so many questions she wants to ask - about her mother and her own dimly remembered childhood on Virginia's eastern shore. Susan is also determined to get acquainted with her grandmother, a reputedly difficult woman, on her own terms.
Traveling across the country to the lush Southern land of her birth, Susan has no way of knowing that her entire life is about to change irrevocably. Once there she discovers that her mother's death may not have been an accident and that her return has caused anxiety among people who fear what may lie dormant in Susan's memory.
