“Readers will appreciate the immensely likable Thea Browne’s struggles with old pain and new love in this entertaining and well-written novella. Thea must navigate the choppy waters of human relationships, even as she settles into her role as a formidable sleuth.”
—S.K. Rizzolo, author of “On a Desert Shore: A Regency Mystery” (#4 in the series)
Thea Browne nearly died fighting off a crazed killer who kidnapped Thea’s Alzheimer’s-afflicted mother and Thea herself, and had viciously attacked Thea’s sister, after having murdered two other people. Thea was severely injured in the death match she was forced to fight, and, as she lay in a hospital bed recovering from her wounds, she had an unexpected visitor: Jerry Anderson, the lead detective, who had accused Thea’s mother of having pushed her husband and caretaker, George Prentice, off a cliff in an Alzheimer’s-induced rage.
But by the time he finds his way to Thea’s hospital room, Jerry Anderson is a changed man. He realizes that Thea is the person who solved the case and exposed the real killer—and nearly lost her life in doing so. His feelings about Thea have changed to the point that the only way he can express how he feels is to kiss her. And that kiss stays in Thea’s memory as she continues to recover.
Eventually, Thea and Jerry meet again, and this time their attraction is mutual and they begin seeing each other romantically. Jerry’s sister, Beth Anderson, is eager to get to know Thea because she recognizes Thea’s detective skills and her highly sensitive intuition might help solve the mysterious death of Beth’s former boss and lover, Hal Gray. Beth suspects Hal’s wife may have had something to do with her husband’s death, and when Thea looks into the case, she is inclined to go along with Beth.
But when Thea digs deeper, she discovers a diabolical plot that can never be brought to justice.
Genre: Mystery
