At seventeen Lenora Hope
Hung her sister with a rope

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings she has never spoken publicly about that night nor has she set foot outside Hopes End the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred.

Stabbed her father with a knife
Took her mothers happy life

Its now 1983 and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hopes End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night. In her seventies and confined to a wheelchair Lenora was rendered mute by a series of strokes and can only communicate with Kit by tapping out sentences on an old typewriter. One night Lenora uses it to make a tantalizing offer-I want to tell you everything.

It wasnt me Lenora said
But shes the only one not dead

As Kit helps Lenora write about the events leading to the Hope family massacre it becomes clear theres more to the tale than people know. But when new details about her predecessors departure come to light Kit starts to suspect Lenora might not be telling the complete truth-and that the seemingly harmless woman in her care could be far more dangerous than she first thought
