It follows Peggy Prescott, a woman who, on the outside, seems to live the perfect life. However, when Peggy is found dead, suspicions turn to those closest to her as her secrets are revealed. After a home robbery, Peggy is left a shell of her former self. As her marriage falls apart and her paranoia of those around her increases, she finds herself escaping to the world of her dreams, and it may be closer to reality than she thinks. This is a tale of love and tragedy, with twists and turns at every page.
"Murphy has composed a complex, highly original mystery related through the eyes andmind of one Peggy Prescott who delivers clues to her own murder, beginning from her entrance into this novel in a hearse!" —Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-Stars
