ⓘ About Hope Callaghan
The West Michigan born writer now lives in Florida together with her husband and children. Writing is her first and true love, but whenever she has some free time, Callaghan enjoys traveling, cooking, and reading. Millie’s first day at work is quite eventful, and the first thing she sees is a body surrounded by strangers. Driven by curiosity, Millie asks a few questions to the crew and travelers, but no one seems to have all the details of what happened to the dead woman. It is at this point that Millie decides to play detective and find out the truth. After all, she had several acted as an assistant at her husband’s PI practice, and she knew a thing or two about investigative work. With little, if any, help Millie hopes to solve this mystery by the end of the trip.
