A murder mystery romance, it incorporates a number of elements that keep you involved in the many storylines the author’s weaving. We have two families. One is a single gay dad and his 14 year old daughter. That Mercedes “Mercy” Reed and Rae. He had her with his best friend, Tammy (now married) after a…
