When Cate Kinkaid receives a frantic call about a triple homicide, she drives to the scene against her better judgment–aren’t triple homicides more up the police department’s alley?–only to find that the victims are not quite who she expects. Now she has a new rule to add to those she’s learned in her short stint as an assistant private investigator: always find out if the victims actually have human DNA. Because these three do not. But who would shoot this nice lady’s dolls? What possible reason could the shooter have? And then there’s the startling discovery of another victim, who definitely does have human DNA.

In the second installment of Patricia Raybon’s critically acclaimed mystery series, amateur detective Annalee Spain races the clock to solve the murder of a handsome young pilot before she is framed for the crime—and before his dashing twin falls head over heels for her, tempting her promised heart. On a cold spring night in 1924, Annalee Spain offers her new fancy lace handkerchief—a gift from her pastor boyfriend Jack Blake—to a young woman crying in a Denver public library. But later that night, when police find the handkerchief next to the body of the young woman’s murdered husband, Annalee becomes the number one suspect, and her panic doubles when she learns that Jack has gone missing. With just days to solve the murder before the city’s Klan-run police frame her for the crime, Annalee finds herself hunting for clues in the Colorado mountain town of Estes Park. She questions the victim’s wife and her uncle, a wealthy Denver banker, at their mountain lodge, desperate for leads.

A Regency-era costume party should have been an amusing diversion, but it seems wherever Drew Farthering goes, mystery – and murder– are on the guest list.

Tal is there with his fiancée, Alice Henly, and though many present seem worried about the couple, nobody is prepared when Alice dies from a sudden overdose. Tal refuses to believe she’s taken the drug intentionally, and a dark question arises of whether the death is an accident or murder. The police have their own information, though, and Drew is shocked when they arrest someone he’s trusted since his childhood—someone who’s been smuggling drugs into the country for years.
