Mistaken Ice
Karin Richardson, author
Once again, the Deer Creek gang is on the move! After three mysterious letters sent to Ruth Ann’s antique store, and a pleading phone call from a stranger, Ruth Ann and Carlos head to Charleston to help a dying man before his murderous and greedy sons take everything that is dear to him. But she soon discovers things aren’t when they seem and that Walter doesn’t need her to evaluate antiques.
That’s when a familiar voice comes to Ruth Ann in her dreams, warning her not to go.
“What’s so urgent, Meme? I need to get more sleep because I’m traveling tomorrow.”
“I’m aware of your trip to meet Walter Worthington, III, Ruth Ann.” Meme’s annunciation of Walter’s name was clearly dripping with disdain! “You need to cancel your trip,” she added pointblank, dumbfounding me.
“Why!” I howled.
“Just trust me, please.”
“Oh, no, we’re not starting this again,” I said, frustrated. “You always warn me and not tell me why. I’m over it! I want answers!”
“I know you’re frustrated, Ruth Ann. I can only tell you what I know for sure. Mr. Worthington isn’t as innocent or as sick as he’s pretending.”
MISTAKEN ICE brings back the residents of Deer Creek as well as some new dangerous adversaries, people who will stop at nothing to get the magical necklace called Blue Ice!
