From Little Stack
If revenge is a dish best served cold, rage is a dish best served over ice. Merricat wants nothing more than for everyone to leave her and her sister, Constance, alone. No matter who taunts her or spreads vicious lies about her sister, she refuses to let anything, not even a long-lost cousin, disrupt their quiet way of life. Merricat might be cold, but eventually ice has to melt. She will do whatever she can to protect her sister. Even if it means destroying everything they have to do it.
Six years after four members of the Blackwood family died of arsenic poisoning, the three survivors—elder, agoraphobic sister Constance; wheelchair-bound Uncle Julian; and 18-year-old Mary Katherine, or Merricat—live in peaceful solitude.
Merricat has devised an eccentric set of laws and defensive charms to keep the estate safe from intruding villagers.
However, a stranger appears one day—cousin Charles, who is after the Blackwood fortune—and manages to infiltrate their carefully guarded lives.
Merricat resorts to severe measures after failing to elude him through polite or occult means, resulting in crisis, tragedy, and the disclosure of a dreadful secret.
