I treasure the Beach Reading series as much as I do the Tales of the City series. I love them both, and I?m eagerly ready for book 5!
Tim believes that he and Nick need some time apart. He feels something is lost in their relationship while Nick has been nursing him back to health, (wiping his ass kills the romance). But, Nick doesn?t feel the same way, so he is respecting Tim?s wishes and has been keeping busy with rebuilding the nursery.
After a week apart, Tim decides to take some time to drive the red convertible to L.A. and visit friends of Jason?s, (his murdered ex). At the same time, Nick comes looking for Tim in San Francisco, hoping to surprise him. However, neither of their plans goes as they intend them to. Tim will discover a gorgeous fashion model, Adam, in Sam?s pool, and Nick will find body parts in the dumpster behind Arts.
Dianne, Aunt Ruth?s only child, is visiting for a spell. She is turning all their friends and co-workers off though. She?s a closed minded, rude, extreme conservative, wealthy, racist, bored house wife, Texan, and a great big witch with a capital b. Needless to say, she and her cousin Tim do not get along.
When Dianne passes out cold in Arts, the day that Aunt Ruth has feared and wished would never come, does. For Dianne?s own good, Aunt Ruth?s best kept secret will come out.
And, when Bart goes missing, (even the poor cat can?t stand Dianne?s company), his trail will lead Aunt Ruth and Nick?s grandmother, the writer, to the dilapidated apartment building behind Arts.
Tim?s psychic dreams are not as powerful and forceful as they have been in the previous books, but they are clues to the disturbing polaroids, the Ziploc of gross body parts, and a badly spelled note that his Aunt Ruth receives. Can his dreams, Teresa?s new boyfriend, the cop Peter Parker, and Aunt Ruth?s sleuthing skills save their lives before the murders get to them first?
