The Last Matriarch

Violet Woods buries her firstborn child.

Not lacking in fortitude, she soon produces five replacement boys. Violet, a matriarch with barely concealed neurotic psychosis, stifles the Woods brothers under her protective wing, and keeps them safe from wanton girls.

As her hotel empire grows and the decades pass, the boys coerce their way into adulthood, each with his secrets and flaws.

And Julie Spencer is pulled into the depraved family dynamic—trapped in their world.

Through Katherine Black’s signature style of probing the darkest depths of twisting suspense, The Last Matriarch is a story of power, vengeance, and intrigue . . .

As they rise, the Woods show no mercy. However, when Consuela Vengarse checks in, vengeance arrives with hatred in her overnight bag.

. . . And let’s not forget that firstborn child.
