The Truth About Charlie — Mary Jo Dawson

Sally goes on an all expenses paid trip to Florida, and it isn't for investigative purposes, or to take a vacation. Her son and his wife have asked her to be their advocate when they are offered the opportunity to adopt a baby.

Helping Everett and Judy decide if they should agree to the adoption turns out to be the easy part. And who could argue with spending a few days as a guest of a wealthy family in a tropical paradise?

But when the biological father meets his death shortly after a meeting with Sally, life gets more complicated. A woman with a curious nature, some time on her hands, and believing killers should be caught, has to do what she can.
