β¦ Synopsis
The town of Watson's Lake has a little unsolved mystery. Four years ago, a showplace home--beautiful and serene and tucked away in the mountains of New Mexico--blew sky high, due to an apparent gas leak. A young woman died. The owner disappeared. His gold-digging wife wants the insurance money, and his daughter wants to know what happened to her father. Charlie can't resist this kind of investigation... As she sifts through the clues, Charlie finds that the residents of the small lakeside town seem to know more than they're willing to say--including the sheriff. The more Charlie learns, the more mysterious the missing David Simmons becomes. Could David have intentionally abandoned his family, or is there a more sinister reason for his disappearance? "In this long-running but still too-little-known series, Shelton continues to combine suspenseful storytelling with sensitive portrayals of complex family relationships." -- Booklist
From the Author
Obsessions gave me the chance to take another real situation and build it into a mystery story. Folks in my local area swear that I based this on an event where a large house exploded. Yes, but that's really as far as the similarities go. The only followup I ever heard about the real story was that the cause was determined to be a gas leak. Other than that, the entire story is fictional, including the name of the town where Charlie's story takes place.
