Chapter 1
My Sister’s Husband
The Reeves family was still mourning the loss of Nathaniel Taylor. Six weeks ago, he was found unconscious in a bedroom of his house. Coco was one of the last people to see him alive. When he first died, the police conducted a probe to determine what happened. Coco voluntarily gave the police a brief statement, however, the results of Nate’s autopsy had just come in. And things weren’t looking good at all.
It was the first Friday in October. The day sizzled with a combination of intense heat and unbearable humidity.
Coco was at home trying to stay cool. Wearing two house slippers that slapped against the dusty floor, she walked from one end of the tiny dining room to the other; her glassy brown eyes took in everything, yet saw nothing.
