Beware, don't judge a book by its cover! My Accidental Investigation is a magical realism novel influenced by the field of psychology. The emotionally tense story is tempered with humor to reduce the sting when realizing life is fraught with unseen dangers.
What does a serial predator whose camouflage is that of a devout funeral home director, a traumatized postal worker with a penchant for writing notes, and a twelve-year-old girl with Down syndrome who draws her memories have in common?
The answer is Dr. Stimps, a well-respected psychologist facing her mortality while embarking on a profound journey triggered by a seemingly innocent question: Do you want Life Savers from your guardian angel?"
This question unexpectedly links her with characters from the writer's first novel, My Afterlife. The unconventional group collaborates to end the predator's twenty-six-year reign. Their journey is summarized best by Dr. Stimps: "Life is complex with many vagaries, eddies, side trails, offshoots, and hidden passages. We are always converging. Occasionally a common thread somehow weaves its way through a seemingly random group of people to create a shared convergence. What a great one it was!"
