Well-known for her intricately plotted short stories, Kris Neri has now turned her hand to the mystery novel with fabulous results. Heroine Tracy Eaton first appeared in a Neri short story which won a Derringer Award. Likable but unpredictable Tracy is what else? a successful mystery writer with numerous hardcovers on bookstore shelves. When her sister-in-law is kidnapped, Tracy draws on her fictional experience to solve the crime and unravel several knotty secrets in her husband's family. With a healthy dose of nosiness and an equal amount of nerve, Tracy surmounts every obstacle with elan and a sense of humor that will tickle the reader's fancy. . . . in this delightful series debut.
Meet Tracy Eaton, mystery writer, detective wannabe, and the offspring of wackily eccentric Hollywood stars. Tracy is always out of sync with the "real" world, not to mention her conventional attorney husband, Drew. Tracy is always looking for her first case to solve but she never expects it to pop up during her sister-in-law's wedding -- until the bride is kidnapped. When her in-laws would rather meet the bizarre ransom demand than inform the police, Tracy knows that finding Marissa is up to her. But one mystery leads to another until even the family legend of the evil gypsy queen comes under scrutiny. Is it the childhood fable Marissa claimed it to be -- or the dark prophecy of things to come.
