A NOTE FROM NERISSA BLANCHARD

Now that my twin has found love, she wants me to be as happy as she is. She doesn''t know how blue coming home to this empty house makes me. And our poor mother–I found her in the library, murdered. I''m thankful that Drew Lancaster was one of the first officers on the scene. He''s encouraging and supportive (and he''s handsome, too!).

Lately, I''ve been hearing strange things around the house, and I worry that Mother''s killer–or maybe someone else–is trying to push me over the edge of madness.
