Thicker Than Water |
Works in Progress |
What is Jessie Schroeder up to now?
After nearly losing her life because of her unsolicited involvement in
a recent murder case, Jessie vows to mind her own business this time.
However, in Thicker Than Water, Jessie again fails and finds herself in the
middle of a web of family intrigue that stretches back four
generations. When Fred Kroner died, he left his millions to a
long-lost niece, Johanna Kroner, that no one knew existed. This
ignites a fierce family battle. The bequest includes a reward to the
person who locates the niece. In case she cannot be found or is
proven dead, Fred's nephew and a televangelist will split the spoils.
A badly charred body of a female with a bullet hole through her
forehead is found in the ashes of the old homestead after it had been
deliberately torched. A driver's license issued in the name of
Johanna Kroner is found at the scene.
Is the body really Johanna? If so, why was she in the supposedly
empty house? If not, who is the dead woman, and why was she shot?
And why the deception? Could it be the work of one of the backup
legatees, the nephew or the reverend. The questions continue to
multiply. Jessie's work is cut out for her.
