Synopsis

The powerful Quintrell family of New Mexico has spent decades in the public eye. Now the recent death of the clan's patriarch, a former U.S. senator, has placed his son, Governor Josh Quintrell, squarely in the spotlight as he prepares his run for the highest political office in the land. It is not a good time to be rattling skeletons in the family's closets.

Researching personal histories isn't just Carolina "Carly" May's profession, it's her passion. But digging into the past is raising troubling questions about the would-be president's private life, his late father and catatonic mother, and the grisly street crime that left his notorious drug-addicted sister dead. And it soon becomes frighteningly apparent that the motivation of the dotty old woman who hired Carly might be something more akin to revenge -- and that someone is determined to remove the inquisitive genealogist from the picture by any means necessary.

From AudioFile:

Carly May has been hired by the aunt of an ambitious New Mexico politician to research the family history, but someone doesn't want that history written. Helping her sort out the genes and the scandals is Dan, a former Taos resident with a murky background. Incidents designed to discourage or even kill the pair alternate with cozy romantic dialogue. Carrington MacDuffie gives plenty of emphasis to the sexual tension as she brings out Carly's intelligence and Dan's wariness. An elderly relative on a ventilator is a special challenge well met. Careful listening to the DNA findings will help in understanding twists in genealogy and plot. A good reading of a popular author--this should fare well.
