Truth and Suspicion in Between Dreams And Nightmares

Amanda wants to end her marriage after discovering Brian's affair. Then Brian and his lover are killed, and that understandable grievance becomes a possible motive in David P. Warren's Between Dreams And Nightmares. Amanda must deal with the investigation while discovering how little she understood about her husband's activities.

A marriage leaves unanswered questions

Brian was a lawyer willing to bend rules for money and advancement. After his death, a large sum is missing, and someone appears to have wanted him silenced. Amanda's connection to him makes her interesting to more than the detectives trying to identify his killer.

The missing money supplies a second source of pressure. People believe she can lead them to it, even as she is trying to establish what happened herself. Her husband's secrets thus become a danger she has inherited without necessarily possessing their answers.

Finding information when trust is scarce

The appeal for readers interested in deception is this uneven distribution of knowledge. Amanda knows about the betrayal in her marriage, but that discovery does not explain the murders or reveal where the money went.

As she searches for the truth, deciding whom to trust becomes part of the problem. The publisher identifies the book as containing adult material and recommends it for readers eighteen and older. Its central tension remains Amanda's effort to answer accusations while others pursue answers from her.
