William Johnston Synopsis: The Other Brother is a standalone title by Susan Claudia (aka William Johnston). An old, foreboding mansion looked out over the cold, dark waters surrounding Morgan Island and as Audrey Thatcher got closer to the house she could see the shadow of an elderly woman sitting on the porch. Somehow, in that instant, Audrey knew she was not welcome. A talented writer and career woman, she had come to the island to work on a book: a history of the two famous brothers who had once owned the Morgan Estate. They were now both dead – but she would not allow them to be forgotten. Old Mrs. Morgan had agreed to her visit and had even offered her help with the book. But Audrey did not know that she was about to uncover grave secrets from the Morgan past that would threaten her sanity… and her life!
