UNDER COVER QUEENSequel to JADED LOVERBook 3PART TWOThe Whodunnit Series"Seems like you would have found your own self by now, but late at night, those lover's tears come back, faces in your dreams, fingers in your back, voices of the memories for cryin' out loud." --- Jerry Jeff WalkerIn this love quadrangle, genealogy plays a vital role in wealth versus the poor and sex versus love. Mix in a hint of whodunnit in the murder of one of the characters, and you have a two-part series of trying to catch the killer and figure out the hidden skeletons in the closet.Everyone loves a love triangle, especially when it's two triangles that come together at the same time, just as long as they are not part of it. Obviously, it is the other characters' drama that makes us feel better about our own lives. In this moving story of mystery and intrigue, there so much for the reader to find in the conflict and resolutions of the cutthroat dealings of what were thought to be best friends.The settings of this novel take place along the west coast of the United States in Black Rock Cove, Oregon. Three wealthy families, one to the north, one to the south, and one right along the coastline in downtown Black Rock Cove. The year is 1882.Reggie Scott is in love with Julia Esser and was but one day away from marrying the wealthy young woman, heir to the largest estate on the west coast in Oregon. They have both been made for each other since they were very young children.However, Reggie didn't know until one day before his best friend and best man at the wedding dug up a mystery of his past so frightening, he used it against him to try and steal the woman he loved and make her his own.Overnight Reggie left on the midnight train to travel to New Orleans to find out the truth of this mystery. He needed to know and couldn't bear letting anyone in on this mysterious past he possessed.Streaming tears cleansed Julia's red cheeks the day she was left standing at the altar. Her vision was blurred with waves of sadness. The salty tears flowed into her mouth so that she could taste her own sorrow. Why did Reggie not call or show up for the wedding? Where did he go?Julia experienced bitter and unforgiving pain in her heart. Marco Ross and his twin sister, Angie, were out to win the hearts of Julia and the man she loved who never showed at the church.In our story, conflict is a vital ingredient for the story. Few romance mysteries can manage to be interesting without this conflict. Relationships are flat without it. Love triangles are beyond any doubt dull without it. However, in this two-volume set of THE WHODUNNIT SERIES, there's positively a struggle, discomfort, a lot of inner-strife, and maybe a murder or two!

One of the community's leading citizens is accused of the murder. He pleads his innocence yet refuses to give an alibi as it would have devastating repercussions for the woman he loves, Patti Merritt. The case falls into the hands of a determined lawyer, Daniel McCormick from Wharton, Texas, and an intrepid detective, Vincent Gideon, to find the truth, revealing long-kept secrets along the way.Oh, to have the skills of the great detectives. To have the mind and eye for clues equal to those of the famed detective, Vincent Gideon. Ask this detective why the escalator handrail moves slower than the escalator, and he will give you an answer. Ask him what happens to all one's missing socks. Or, ask him who killed the victim in the backseat of the Checker Cab. He will give the reader answers throughout the book but won't answer who the assassin is until the very end.A week before the murder, our killer watched the latest horror movie at Rice Theater, downtown. He thought over and over how he would commit the murder. He drew up a long list of ideas… throw the body over a cliff, poison, or degrade the man's brake pads. He also thought about where he was going to hide the body. That's when he decided to kill his victim in the backseat of a taxi cab and let the cab driver discover the body later, after he had made his escape. Yet, he thought about the evidence he would leave behind… fingerprints, a footprint, or maybe even a witness. For over a week, he kept the murder inside of his own head until something made him snap!
