In this "entertaining gothic tale" (Chicago Sun-Times) that "reads like Wuthering Heights on steroids" (Publishers Weekly), amateur sleuth Ellie Haskell gets caught up in the drama of a trio of ancient spinsters-and the ghosts of murder past. "Rosemary, Thora, and Jane lived at the end of the lane, one was thin, one was fat, and one was very plain." This is how Ellie Haskell remembers her grandmother's three childhood friends, known collectively as "the bridesmaids." Ellie once asked her mother where the nickname came from and her mother replied, "It's a long story, best forgotten." After all, every family has its secrets. Now, thirty years later, a letter from the bridesmaids arrives informing Ellie that her grandmother, Sophia, wishes to make contact. This might have been heartwarming news but for one small detail: Sophia is dead. Ellie sets out to visit the bridesmaids, expecting to set the record straight. What she gets is a life-changing journey into the unknown, from a séance and a hidden diary to a mysterious death that took place more than fifty years ago. Praise for Bridesmaids Revisited "Witty.
