Schizzo al matrimonio
by Janet EvansErano passati esattamente 5 mesi, 4 giorni e 16 matrimoni dall'ultimo incidente, e Julia era felice che finalmente avrebbe dovuto pianificare un matrimonio in cui niente di orribile sarebbe successo. Questo matrimonio sembrava bello. Per adesso, nessuno aveva provato a rubare l'anello della sposa. Nessuno aveva provato ad uccidere lo sposo. Non avrebbe potuto sbagliarsi di più. Questo era il peggiore. Dopo un attacco chimico al matrimonio attuato da un ragazzino che aveva contatti con persone poco raccomandabili e che aveva lasciato anche un messaggio (che era anche molto criptico), Julia si impegna a smascherare l'uomo dietro al violento attacco. Si potrebbe pensare che pianificare i matrimoni sia uno di quei lavori che non rischiano di ucciderti, ma dopo tutto quello che aveva attraversato, Julia iniziava a pensare che forse, doveva solo trovarsi un altro lavoro. E sembrava che dovesse davvero farlo, se non avesse risolto questo caso, dopo che il cliente l'aveva minacciata di farle causa per il suo fallimento a causa di questo incidente. Gli attacchi chimici vanno ben oltre il suo contratto, ma il suo cliente non riusciva a capirlo. Ora, Julia deve rintracciare il ragazzino e trovare lo psicopatico che è collegato a questo scompiglio.
