Ali and Taylor Blake and the Dream Club members think they can! If youβve been
following my cozy series set in Savannah, youβll know that the ladies in the
Dream Club meet once a week to analyze their dreams, enjoy some fabulous
Southern desserts and solve a murder or two.
At first Taylor was skeptical about her sister Aliβs enthusiasm for dream
interpretation. After all, Taylor is the analytical type, always cool and
rational. Ali is more impulsive, emotional and willing to explore new ideas.
How do the Dream Club members solve crimes? They look for clues in their dreams
that relate to murders happening in Savannah. Sometimes the clue is hard to
find. It might be symbolic and elusive. Often, it involves a clue that the
police didnβt notice. It could be a hint about a suspectβs character, a chance
comment, a suspicious element found at the crime scene.
In
A PREMONITION OF
MURDER, Abigail Marchand, a wealthy Southern recluse, has a disturbing dream
about her own death. A premonition, you might say. She invites her good friends
the Harper sisters over for lunch at her estate along with Ali and Taylor Blake.
Abigail tells them about her dream and the guests immediately try to put her
mind at rest.
A dream can mean many things, they tell her. Images of darkness and water
closing over her are certainly troubling, but there may not portend death.
Sadly, Abigailβs premonition comes true the very next day when she is found dead
at the foot of the stairs in her mansion.
This is the third release in the
Dream Club Mysteries.
Along with the Savannah setting, the series features a fun, retro candy shop
called Oldies But Goodies. Ali and Taylor run the shop, which includes a cafΓ©
and they love trying out new recipes to serve at Dream Club meetings. Stop by
and match wits with the Dream Club as you find yourself wrapped up in murder,
Southern style.
An elderly Southern heiressβs nightmare becomes a real case of murder in
the latest Dream Club Mystery from the national bestselling author of Dream a
Little Scream.
When Abigail Marchand, Savannahβs famously reclusive heiress, invites the
Dream Club ladies to lunch at her Beaux Reeves mansion, Taylor and Ali hope for
an invitation to join the distinguished Magnolia Society. But Abigail has a more
pressing concern: a recent dream that seems to foretell her death.
Taylor reassures Abigail that there are many ways to interpret a dream, but
at the next meeting of the Dream Club, their discussion is cut short by a call
from Detective Sam Stiles. She's at Abigail's mansion, where the elderly woman
appears to have been pushed to her death down a flight of stairs. Now Taylor,
Ali, and the Dream Club need to catch a killer before someone else is laid to
rest.
