Wish Come TrueA woman must find out who killed the sister she hated—or face jail herself—in this suspenseful tale by the New York Times–bestselling author of Swimsuit Body. The world loves Monica Vincent, and her sister Anna has always tried to love her, too. Anna’s life is devoted to the Hollywood star; As her sister’s personal assistant, she spends her days answering Monica’s fan mail and catering to her every whim. But Monica is cruel, and when a car accident leaves her in a wheelchair, she treats Anna even worse. All Anna wants is her freedom, but not the way it comes to her. When Monica is found floating facedown in the swimming pool at her mansion, everyone assumes her death was accidental. The police are not convinced, however, and see the star’s sister as the likely culprit. To keep herself from jail, Anna digs for the truth, desperate to learn who killed the sister she hated. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Eileen Goudge including rare photos from the author’s personal collection. Wish Come True is the 3rd book in the Carson Springs Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. |
