Mystery

Caitlin Neuman seeks answers to the vivid nightmares that have invaded her sleep. She hires retired Inspector Paco LeSoto and his wife, Molly, to find if her dream is real and the identity of the driver. When she was a child, Caitlin survived a horrific car wreck that killed her parents and twin sister. She's adamant that she is not reliving the accident. This is different and her intuition tells her it is imperative for her to find the answers.

Paco and Molly's investigation brings them to the Newton Boston family. The family currently is involved in a tragic accident of Newton's daughter that the police are viewing as a suspicious death. As Paco scrutinizes their pasts, red flags emerge. The voluptuous new wife has a string of dead husbands in her past and her adult children bring trouble to those around them. Paco takes the lead as he attempts to find the connection between Caitlin and the Newton family. As he probes the past, Paco stirs fears that could lead to another murder. Paco and Molly have little time to prevent another tragedy.

The third Paco and Molly murder mystery encompasses paranormal elements, a possible black widow and many red herrings. There are unexpected plot turns lead to a surprising turn of events.

SUMMARY

The roiling blizzard toys with the overweight Chrysler, nudging it into a spin. The momentum leads to impact: a thundering, crunching of metal and glass. Caitlin Neuman awakes from this nightmare, wondering if it might be a harrowing memory-she's the lone survivor of a crash that killed her parents and twin sister years earlier. Or could the nightmare be an eerie insight into some family she's never met? Then again, it might just be a bad dream. Caitlin engages retired Detective Paco LeSoto to find out the truth. Paco's clever wife, Molly, tags along, uncovering her share of clues. She spouts her own deliciously skewed English, while Paco suspects her "Mollyprops" are clever contrivances. Their investigation takes them to the Boston family, another set of twins, and a string of suspicious deaths. In a Chesapeake Bay beachside home not far from the Neumans, newlyweds Newton Boston and his blonde bombshell wife, Delylah, grapple with their own family turmoil. Delylah's adult children churn up vicious undercurrents that threaten the entire household. Four deceased husbands lie in Delylah's past. When another family member dies under mysterious circumstances, the clues point to murder. The LeSotos expose the sinister connections. But can they stop yet another killing, bring justice to the culprits and peace to both families?
