Sinopse
"An adventure of emotional depth and sensitivity" – Anne Perry December 1999 The dawn of a new millennium looms near, and Hannah Ives is looking forward to the new beginnings it will bring. It's been eight months since her mother died, and Hannah and her sisters are worried about their father, Captain George Alexander. He's always been a social drinker, but since his wife's death he's clung to alcohol like a life-preserver, knocking back martinis like vitamins. But that soon becomes the least of their worries. The revelation that her father has met a younger woman — and worse, that they have suddenly decided to marry — comes as a shock to Hannah, who can't find it in herself to like Darlene Tinsley, no matter how hard she tries. It's bad enough that Darlene's a floozy who's buried three husbands already, but when she actively encourages George's drinking, it looks like she aims to bury a fourth. When her late mother's jewelry shows up around Darlene's neck at their Christmas engagement part, Hannah has to restrain herself from ripping it from the gold digger's throat. Yet the already terrible evening takes a strange turn, when Hannah receives a mysterious phone call informing her of a sudden death…and her father's disappearance. As Hannah desperately searches for word of her father, she finds herself struggling to separate truth from reality in order to find out what really happened. Because as far as she can see, there are only three options: Her father has made a terrible mistake. Her father has committed a terrible crime. Or her father has fallen victim to a killer who seized the moment for murder. Hannah can only hope that she finds him in time before another body shows up… Occasion of Revenge is a spine-tingling murder mystery that is the perfect read for whodunit crime lovers.
