Daddy S Manor

There is only Delano and Bluebell, and sometimes the Delano Manor. She was once a sweet girl, shrouded with innocence and gullibility. It’s how Delano got to her, imprinted her soul with his possessiveness, and choked her with his obsessive tendencies. She wasn’t scared then, and she’s not scared now. She thinks he saw something in her before or after knowing that she wasn’t afraid of him. Today, Bluebell is not the sweet girl with fading innocence and skeptical naïveté. She has changed; she likes the violence and the tickle in the back of her throat for blood. One man, unfortunately, becomes the object of her irritation. She blames Delano for the change.

As they have so many times before, Carla Day and her Egyptologist father are visiting the museum—and the ancient coffin lid he discovered years ago—when a fellow museum-goer falls to the floor, choking. Dr. Day rushes to pry off the poor man’s tie, but instead of getting praise, he gets charged with murder by strangulation—and accused of faking Alzheimer’s. The charges are dropped when it’s learned that the museum-goer isn’t dead, but comatose. And when he vanishes, Carla begins to suspect that her father’s faulty memory may be the only link between a millennia-old Egyptian death and a present-day California one. “Clever and poignant . . . The puzzle intrigues and the characters come to life.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch “[An] acerbic, funny, insightful voice.”—The Boston Globe “A cleverly designed whodunit [with an] unnerving shocking final confrontation.”—Midwest Book Review

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Danielle Steel’s riveting novel, three women raised by their father on a sprawling California ranch now confront difficult truths about their past. Decades ago, after the death of his wife, Texas ranch hand JT Tucker took his three small daughters to California to start a new life. With almost no money, a will of iron, and hard work, he eventually built the biggest ranch in California. But when he dies suddenly at the age of sixty-four, the ranch is inherited by his three daughters—each of them finding it impossible to believe that this larger-than-life figure is gone from their lives. JT’s relationship with each daughter was entirely different. Caroline, the youngest and most reserved, was overlooked by her father for her entire life and fled to become a wife, mother, and writer in Marin County. Gemma, his declared favorite, sought out Hollywood glamour and success and became a major television star. Kate, the eldest, stayed at home with her father to do his bidding as a ranch hand, without thanks or praise, forsaking marriage and a family of her own for the love of him. Now, upon JT’s death, the paper trail he leaves behind begins to reveal much more than the three sisters ever guessed about who he really was. It will turn their world upside down, and each of them must grapple with a new reality, strengthening their relationships with one another, and discovering who they are now as grown women, in spite of him. Set against the magnificent backdrop of the West and the drama of a family in turmoil, Daddy’s Girls is the story of three remarkable women and their unique bond to each other—the daughters of a complex, many-faceted, domineering father who left his mark on each of them.

They're called indigo children- and one by one, they're disappearing-in this "clever, witty and insightful"(San Diego Union Tribune) mystery.

And just before dying, she whispers concern for her own secret baby.

Carla has a town full of unreliable witnesses; if only she knew which of them to discount.
