Never As It Seems

The Delaney family receives fantastic news, followed immediately by the worst news ever. Their big lottery win is overshadowed by a serious health diagnosis and another family member's sudden skydiving death. Sophie deals with her loss by getting away from it all in Tahiti, for what was meant to be nothing more than just a short vacation. Death seems to be following her around, however, and Sophie gets caught up in a local private investigator's sleuthing work. Soon she also finds herself physically and emotionally involved with the Polynesian P.I., Turi, although his personal loyalties are a bit suspect. When more of her family members appear on the scene in Tahiti, snorkeling lands Sophie in the hospital under suspicious circumstances. Amid multiple unexplained deaths, murders, and attempted murders, Sophie turns to Turi and her family for coping assistance when her lung cancer returns. Unfortunately, nothing is ever as it seems.
