It has been two weeks now since Ross disappeared on Hannah after their wedding. Only her family and close friends know that truth. Everyone else has been told that he is off on assignment for K-COW television station. Mike is discreetly hunting down leads to try to find out what happened to him. Then one night Michelle gets a video call from Ross's assistant PK where he sounds drugged and he's driving Ross's car. He mumbles about feeling sick from eating candies and swerves off the side of the road.
There was no hope of saving PK. The candies were filled with a drug that stopped his heart. The only problem is that the candies were found at Ross's desk. So were the candies meant for Ross or PK? If they were meant for Ross is that why he left to avoid being killed or putting them in danger? Hannah can't investigate Ross's possible murder because no one will be honest with her so she sends her sister Andrea to ask around while she and her sister Michelle ask around about PK.
It turns out that PK had an enemy at work, Scott who resented that PK took the promotion he thought he should have gotten and then took over Ross's big office when Ross left causing envy. And no one seemed to know much about PK's fiancee, Pinkie including her real name or her last name. Just that they went to high school together and began dating there and from the local auto mechanic that PK bought her a Jeep that he had specially painted pink for her as an engagement gift. Where is Pinkie?
Meanwhile, on the Ross front, Hannah finds out that he has deposited sixty thousand dollars into her personal banking account and left three accounts that were in his name to be signed over to her totaling four hundred thousand dollars. On top of that, there are another one hundred thousand dollars in cash in a safety deposit box along with a storage site key. Why would Ross feel the need to hide the money? Is it from a bank robbery or is it counterfeit? Mike will search for these answers as Hannah grapples with trying to come to terms with whether or not she really knew the man she married.
On a side note, Moishe the cat isn't leaping into Hannah's arms anymore when she opens the front door and he sleeps all the time now. Is he just getting old or is something else afoot? Recipes included in this book are Irish Potato cookies, Upside Down Pear Coffee Cake, Almond Custer Pie with Raspberry Glaze, Orange Marmalade Filled Oatmeal Muffins, and Chocolate Caramel Bar Cookies. It's hard to keep a series fresh after so many books and this makes the twenty-fourth book in the series. But Fluke still manages to pull off twists you don't always see coming. By the end of this book, you will learn the fate of Ross. If you read this series, you won't be disappointed. You'll be wondering how soon can the next one come out.
