A chance meeting with old friend Kate Tarlton lands amateur sleuth Rona Parish in the midst of another case. Kate, knowing about Rona's sleuthing experience and valuing her discretion, asks for her help with a delicate family problem: determining the cause of her daughter's nightmares. Rona soon uncovers disturbing facts about the Tarlton's past that prompt her to wonder whether solving the mystery of Freya's nightmares might destroy the family. Fraser's smooth writing style, inventive plotting, and insights into family life make this latest addition to the Rona Parish series a surefire hit for readers who like to mix cozy mysteries with gentle women's fiction.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
