Relative Evil - E-book - ePub

Inspired by her father's pretty, very unexpected new wife, romance novelist Claire Abney allows her over-active imagination to run wild and pens her first mystery thriller about a nearly unheard-of mental illness: Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. An insidious sickness Claire modeled after her stepmother. However, as her father suffers multiple freak accidents, she wonders exactly where the prose ends, and reality begins. Claire keeps her family from discovering she wrote the unflattering story by using a masculine pen name and her handsome editor, her shill for photo ops and book signings.
But her father's unexpected death, and bungled attempts on her own life, force her to admit the strategy may have backfired. Now, with the help of her brother and Max, her dreamy front man, she must separate truth from fiction before life imitating art becomes deadly.
