Hidden Deception Colleen Helme

Book 9 in the Shelby Nichols SeriesIt's never good to find out that your dream house is haunted. Just back from Paris, Shelby barely has time to get over her jet lag before she is right back in the thick of things. Uncle Joey, the local mob boss, needs her help to find out what his son is hiding from him. Detective Harris, AKA Dimples, has an unsolved homicide on his hands, along with a missing engagement ring. Shelby's husband, Chris, just got promoted to partner in his law firm, and she has yet to see his new office or meet his new secretary. Add to that the opportunity to purchase a beautiful home, and Shelby is racing from one thing to the next while trying to keep them all straight. When a courier in Uncle Joey's organization turns up dead, it's up to Shelby and her mind-reading powers to find out who killed him and why. The house Shelby wants to buy has a few problems that go beyond the building code, and the murder she's helping Dimples solve has ties to Chris' law firm. Even using all of her skills, Shelby finds one hidden deception after another. And if she's not careful, it might be the one she least expects that will kill her.
