The Books Oracle

Devil and Mrs. Davenport

by Paulette Kennedy

Missouri, 1955: Loretta Davenport's autumn fever brings voices only she can hear—the living and the dead. Paulette Kennedy mines the subtle horrors of 1950s domesticity, where a woman under pressure from all sides must navigate spectral visitations and earthly threats. A gripping exploration of feminine constraint and supernatural dread.
