This is my favorite book in the series so far. In book 4 Martin and Roe have gotten married and are looking for a place to live. The Julius house is what Roe wants, and wealthy Martin is only too happy to oblige, even though a whole family disappeared from under its roof a few years back. Roe loves the house and is intrigued by the missing family. What could have happened to father, mother, and daughter Julius? One moment they were there, the next they were gone. Only Mrs. Julius's mother remains, waiting for her daughter's return.

Martin also hires his old friend Shelby Youngblood and his wife Angel. He refuses to tell Roe anything about the couple and lets them live in the garage apartment near the Julius house. Martin tells Roe that Shelby and Angel are there to help her, but they really seem like her jailers, especially after she gets attacked.

With a house to decorate, a mystery to investigate, and a new husband to enjoy, life seems pretty good, until everything starts to unravel.
