The Devil and Mrs. Davenport by Paulette Kennedy
From the bestselling author of The Witch of Tin Mountain and Parting the Veil comes a chilling novel of 1950s America, where a dutiful wife begins to hear voices—and nothing in her world will survive unchanged.
Missouri, 1955. The first day of autumn brings a fever. With the fever come the voices.
Loretta Davenport has lived a quiet life as a devoted mother and the obedient wife of Pete, an ambitious assistant professor at a Bible college. They are the picture of domestic virtue—until a local girl is murdered and Loretta begins receiving messages from beyond. Pete dismisses her visions as hysteria born of illness. Loretta knows better. The voices are real. And they are terrified.
Against her husband’s wishes, Loretta seeks out parapsychologist Dr. Curtis Hansen, who recognizes her rare gift as more blessing than curse. Under his guidance, her world widens into something dangerous and exhilarating—an awakening Pete cannot control.
As Loretta’s powers intensify and the spirits grow more desperate, Pete becomes convinced the Devil has claimed his wife. To uncover the truth behind the dead girl’s murder, Loretta must confront not only the unseen—but the man determined to silence her.
