57 year old Suzanna Lawson is traveling on vacation with her loving family in the city of London, England. They've been having a great time sightseeing and enjoying all that London has to offer, until a catastrophic storm approaches and forces the Lawson family to take shelter in a large mansion owned by the Castillo family. The Castillos are a very nice family, who's servants cater to the Lawson's every need, but after a bizarre conversation with the owner, Levi Castillo and his wife Valerie, Suzanna realizes the Castillos might not be as normal as she thought. Especially when Levi and Valerie are both found murdered in their own bedroom. She's never been much of a detective, but Suzanna is determined to find the murderer who is running loose in the mansion before they strike again because, as Suzanna has become all too aware of, help isn't coming any time soon. *Rated Mature For Graphic Violence and Murder Descriptions.

I hope you enjoy reading every part of this psychological thriller. Comments and suggestions are most welcome. Reproduction of any part of this original story is prohibited. PROLOGUE Head investigator, Brent Sherwood found a very distraught young woman at the crime scene. She was hiding in the walk-in closet behind the hanging wardrobes of the dead man. Her eyes were wary and scared. He asked for her name. "Nikola", she whispered in thick Italian accent. Her voice was full of anguish and despair . "Are you the dead man's daughter?" Brent asked the young woman whose exotic beauty was covered with sweat, tears and great fear. She shook her head and mumbled, "Wife". There's a pang of regret that stuck in his throat. In that moment of disbelief, he immediately erased that first impression to console a bereaved woman. Whoever believes in love at first? Such foolishness should be deleted off his mind. His feelings must not cloud his judgement. He must act in accordance to his job even if it's his first time to admire a woman after 3 years in solitude. Did she kill her husband? That's the question he must unravel before focusing on his own personal motive.Compleet

They worried for her and couldn't take the long hours she had to work, sometimes working through the night. Her mothers worried for her, they just really wanted their Angel to settle down and find a good partner who could be there for her since she would need someone to emotionally support her considering how draining her job could be.
