About this ebook

Riches to rags. ... Some things stay buried. ... Some things don’t, ... and it’s chaos once again!

Spending time with Mack is always fun, but, when Doreen overhears a conversation that sounds like a murder confession, he disagrees, … until a body shows up. Then he’s suddenly a whole lot more interested. The deceased young man had planned to attend the local college and had hoped to rekindle a relationship with an ex-girlfriend.

Corporal Mack Moreau knows he can keep Doreen out of this current case, but, when the young man’s grandmother calls and says it could be related to the unexplained disappearance of the young man’s parents, … then all bets are off. Doreen and her entourage are smack in the middle again.

When the case suddenly ties to her neighbor, Richard, it comes home in a big way.

Ratings and reviews

A 3.5 stars read. I'm totally invested in Doreen's life by now, I adore Doreen and Mack and Doreen's fur babies. The best part in this book for me is the romance, love how they act like couple more and more and how they always support and protect each other, loveeee when Mack get overprotective towards Doreen, it's just so sweet, put a big smile on my face. The sweet romance is chef's kiss. The mystery is pretty solid, I like it, not a big fan of the plot though, it's predictable.

A dying woman asks Doreen to investigate the 25-year-old cold case of her missing daughter and son-in-law. She wants answers before she leaves this life. Doreen tries to ensure she doesn't infringe on Mack's open cases. This book is a great who-done-it and includes plenty of romance, ending with a cliffhanger, of course. Very highly recommended. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Doreen and the animals are always a treat to read about. Solving cold cases can be dangerous, but Doreen always seems able to remain calm, and usuallMack and Doreen go to a nice park to spend some quality time together. The wisteria are a perfect backdrop for the couple, until Doreen hears someone talking quietly about getting rid of a body. Mack hears snippets, and is trying to convince Doreen to let it go. You know how well that works out hahahha.

About the author

Dale Mayer is a USA Today bestselling author who writes for the young, the old and those in-between – no matter what the age. Some of her books are hot, some are sweet. Some will keep you up at night with a light on to keep the boogie man away and some you’ll want to cuddle close.

She’s long given up on trying to fit a specific genre. Instead she honors the stories that come to her – and some of them are crazy, break all the rules and cross multiple genres!

And that’s okay too.

There is one guarantee with each book – it will be a great read – each and every time.
