Dolores Claiborne

Dolores Claiborne spent her entire life working in the luxurious home of Vera Donovan, the wealthiest resident of a small American island. Dolores never strayed more than 50 miles from the island. Her husband, a drunkard and a brawler, died in an accident many years ago, and her daughter, Selina, hasn't visited her for 15 years. What happened that made Selina, now a famous journalist, drop everything and rush to her mother's home in the middle of nowhere? Vera Donovan is dead, and local detective John Mackey has held a grudge against Dolores for years: he didn't believe her husband's death was accidental back then, and he doesn't believe it now, because the wealthy woman wrote a will in Dolores' favor.
