Return to Mateguas Island: A Tale of Supernatural Suspense

Fans of Watkins’s Mateguas Island will welcome this solid sequel. During a violent storm on the Maine island, Bill Andersen apparently drowns in a swamp behind the family house, but his body is never recovered. Ten years later in California, his teenage twin daughters, Terri and Sophie, want to return to Mateguas to determine his fate once and for all. Their desire to rake over the past doesn’t sit well with their mother, Karen, who has moved on and remarried. In the end, Karen agrees to accompany the girls to the island, where Terri and Sophie learn, among other startling facts, that they have a half-brother, the product of an affair their father had with their teacher. The Andersens soon find that something unnatural is at work after an owl and a murder of crows attack Karen without provocation. Watkins smoothly integrates the paranormal with a complex family drama. [em](BookLife) [/em]
