A Rae Riley Mystery

Her dad said nothing could hurt their relationship. But what if he isn't her dad?

Summer gets off to a rocky start for twenty-year-old Rae Riley when the ex-wife of family friend Jason Carlisle claims their youngest child isn't his and Rae's con man uncle Troy returns to Marlin County, Ohio. Rae is already at odds with her father, Sheriff Walter "Mal" Malinowski, over her desire to help people in trouble. When she extends that help to Uncle Troy and Jason's ex-wife, Ashley, she and Mal clash even more.

Then Ashley disappears, and Jason and his brother Rick are the main suspects. As Rae and her aunt Carrie, a private investigator hired to protect Jason's kids, work to discover what really happened to Ashley, Rae wrestles with Troy's insinuations that she may be calling the wrong Malinowski "Dad."

"I love YA books and equally enjoy a good mystery. Allen combines both with just the right amount of suspense, whodunnit, and relationships. Rae and her father are still figuring each other out, while Rae is learning to be part of a family. The relational struggles are real and tug at one's heart. Allen's settings are described so colorfully I felt I moved alongside the characters. The suspense, especially toward the end, had me reading until late at night. I believe A Storm of Doubts is even better than the first in the series. Don't miss any of JPC Allen's books"-Jennifer Hallmark
