About this story Marcia writes:
"'Two Sisters' started life as a short story for a Halloween event at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Fellow author, Beth Foxwell, and I were each commissioned to write a tale which we would read to museum visitors on October 31st. There was only one rule: the story had to feature an object in the museum's extensive collection. Beth chose an Art Deco vase, as I recall, but after visiting the museum, I became fascinated by an enormous touch-screen virtual tour of the Marlborough Apartments, the rooms where the famous Cone sisters lived and where they managed to amass a huge collection of Impressionist art, including the largest collection of Matisses in the world. A Picasso hung in the bathroom over the tub! Can you imagine? When I discovered that the Marlborough Apartments had been turned into an assisted living facility in the late 1970s, the story practically wrote itself."
So here it is, a gentle little ghost story for your Halloween reading pleasure.
"Two Sisters" was first published in 2008 in Chesapeake Crimes 3, an anthology of 15 all-new mystery stories compiled and edited by New York Times best-selling author Donna Andrews with a foreword by Sujata Massey.
