Description
Derrick Booker. Talented artist, skilled designer, murder victim. With a strained relationship with his parents and older sister, a toxic relationship with his arranged fiancee that led to her being jilted at the altar, and an unsteady friendship with his godbrother; there's little wonder on who would want him dead the most, especially when the suspects (including his business rival Wendy Daimler) were home yet could hire an assassin to take him out- all while establishing a tight-knit alibi. His younger sister Jana, the only sane one in the family and the only one whom he never met, was supposed to meet him for the first time on the day he was killed. So now, under his guidance and the accompaniment of one of his trusted investigators, she has to figure out who wanted him dead while figuring out his secrets of the past- secrets that involve illicit affairs, him being emotionally abused by his parents, and a final painting and showstopping dress that tie into this mystery. But the suspects (and Jana's parents as well as her wandering ex-fiance) all but demand for her to drop the mystery and be forced into a marriage that she no longer wants. And there's still the killer who plans to upend the mystery by any means necessary. Can Jana figure out who wanted to end her brother's life, preserve her brother's legacy, and present his final collections for the fashion show in time while trying not to fall for the hunky detective? And can she find her voice to stop her parents and sister's controlling demands? Or will everything be burned to nothingness befoe she had a proper chance? ***************** CAMP NANOWRIMO APRIL 2024 NOVEL
