Presents
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
Plot:
Aged, wealthy Charlotte Hollis has lived as a recluse in the crumbling family
plantation mansion in Hollisport, Louisiana since her father Sam Hollis' death
thirty-six years ago. The only people who regularly see her are her
hard-as-nails but seemingly loyal housekeeper, Velma Crowther, and her longtime
friend and physician, Dr. Drew Bayliss. She has lived there most of her life
except for a short stint in London thirty-seven years ago following the vicious
murder of her married lover, John Mayhew, at the plantation's summer house while
Sam was hosting one of his legendary grand balls in the mansion. She and John
had planned to run off together that night, but instead he was bludgeoned to
death, his head and right hand severed from his body. Nobody was ever convicted
for his murder, but most people believe Charlotte did it after John changed his
mind about running off with her. They also believe that Charlotte, whom they
haven't seen in years, is a crazy old woman. Conversely, Charlotte has hidden
away fearing that people would always be glaring at her. She believes that any
bad thing that has happened to her since John's murder has been initiated by his
widow, Jewel Mayhew, whom she blames for orchestrating the expropriation of her
property to build a bridge across the lake. Charlotte is surprised that her
younger cousin Miriam Deering, who left the area years ago and was once Drew's
romantic interest, has accepted her invitation to stay at the mansion. While
Charlotte wanted Miriam to help her overturn the expropriation with the state
government in Baton Rouge, Miriam has actually come to help her pack her
belongings. Her visit coincides with the arrival to Hollisport of insurance
investigator Harry Willis, who has always wondered why the insurance was never
claimed. Not expecting to find anything serious, he tells only Sheriff Luke
Standish the true nature of his visit. By this time, Charlotte's mental state
seemingly hits a sharp decline, perhaps because she would be leaving her family
home, but could it be issues surrounding John's murder? Or is someone trying to
drive her crazy if she isn't already? If the latter, the truth of who killed
John and why may finally come to light to those who matter.
