Beware of all that
goes bump in the night…
Sean and Sara
McKinley are excited about the haunted house they’ve set up as a Halloween
charity fund-raiser, but things take a ghoulish turn when the reporter covering
their story is found dead. With the media keeping mum about how she died,
Sara’s curiosity is piqued, and she convinces Sean to take on the investigation
through their PI firm.
But this case is not
without its challenges. The police are actively investigating it, as well, and
it’s not even clear that the woman was murdered. It will take a little
cloak-and-dagger, dress-up, and finesse for the McKinleys to get to the bottom
of it, but they aren’t the kind to give up.
As they troll for
leads and work through the skeletons in the reporter’s closet, they unearth a
few suspects, but they’ll need to carve out the whole truth if they’re going to
find her killer. If they do so fast enough, there might even be time for a
little trick-or-treating.
SHADOWS OF NIGHT
SARA WAS CALLING YOUR SOURCE from her home office one last
time. That’s what she told herself anyhow. She’d lost count of how many times
she’d called them, but she had always met with a busy signal. And there it was
again…
She lowered the receiver to its cradle. One could be certain
that the station had plenty of rollover lines, so it had to be other people
calling in about Chloe’s death, too. Other crazy people like her wanting
answers. At least, she was sure that Sean thought she was crazy, but she had a
niggling sensation in her gut that they needed to look into Chloe’s death.
Maybe it was because she and Sean were surrounded by murder
wherever they looked and wherever they went. Even when they were supposed to be
relaxing on their honeymoon, a case had found them. And the inclination to view
any death as suspicious was embedded in her psyche from years working as a
homicide detective with the Albany PD. Sure, Chloe could have died from natural
causes, an accident, or even suicide, but it was also just as likely that
someone had caused her death intentionally. To quiet her mind, Sara had to find
out which scenario applied to Chloe. And if her calls weren’t making it through,
there was another route she could take.
She flicked on the monitor, pleased that she had the habit
of leaving her computer on most of the time. She brought up an Internet search
engine and typed in Chloe’s full name and Your Source. This brought up pages of
results. The first entry was a post from the television station entitled, DEATH
OF LOCAL REPORTER CASTS DARK CLOUD OVER ALBANY. Sara clicked to open the link.
Scanning down the page, she found she was no closer to
knowing what had happened to Chloe. There was no cause of death listed, but
rather, the piece read like an obituary with a recap of Chloe’s career
accomplishments and brief mentions of her personal life—she had a sister and
had died single. That was it. Somehow it seemed like a sad summation of a
twenty-five-year-old woman’s life that had been cut so short. There was so much
that Chloe had yet to experience, and Sara hoped that Chloe had at least known
romantic love at some point in her life.
Sara returned to her search results and clicked on many of
the other links, but they were more or less copycats of the statement Your
Source had published.
So far this has been my favorite of the books in this series.
