October brings a message from Beyond The Grave...
Halloween is fast approaching in the quiet Los Angeles County city of Vista Beach, home of computer programmer and tole-painting enthusiast Rory Anderson. While her painting chapter prepares to open its annual boutique house, Rory receives an unexpected email from Beyond The Grave, a company that automatically sends out messages when someone dies.
“I think I have a stalker,” the message reads. “If you’re reading this I’m either missing or dead. My life may depend on what you do. Please find out what happened to me.”Haunted by her friend’s disappearance and possible death, Rory begins her search with the help of best friend and fellow painter, Liz Dexter. Can they discover who has designs on the missing woman and uncover the truth before one of them becomes the stalker’s next victim?
My Review
Vista Beach is getting ready to celebrate Halloween, but when Rory Anderson receives a mysterious email from a close friend, things take a nasty turn. Rory’s friend’s email lets her know she has a stalker and, if Rory is reading this email, then her friend is either dead or in terrible danger.
Rory and her best friend, Liz, decide to investigate. Although, Rory’s detective boyfriend tries to talk her out of it, Rory and Liz completely throw themselves into the investigation. They had no idea there would be so many suspects and just how dangerous this search could be.
This is the fourth book in the Aurora Anderson Mystery series. I haven’t read any of the other books in this series. I wasn’t sure if I was getting into these books too late, but it turns out I didn’t have to worry. I jumped right in and became acquainted with all the characters immediately.
It’s a fast-paced mystery with many puzzle pieces to put together. It took me until the end to realize what was going on. It certainly kept me guessing. I’ll be checking out the backlist in this series very soon.
There’s both mystery and romance packaged in one engrossing story. I’m ready for more.
