Dangerous Memory: A Minnie Chance Mystery - Book Two

by Cynthia Rogan

Martin discovers a young woman with amnesia on the dock when he goes fishing one morning. In the palm of her hand, someone has written the many, chance, signed with DC-Minnie's younger brother's initials. Martin immediately calls Minnie. They take the woman to the hospital where she remembers that she has to stop someone from doing something, but she doesn't know who or what.
Minnie is finally able to reach her younger brother, who admits he sent the woman. All he knows about her is that she's in trouble and she only has ten days to stop whatever is going to happen. Martin and Minnie focus their efforts on trying to reveal the identity of their Jane Doe, but before they can uncover information to help her, a menacing stranger shows up in the neighborhood. As Minnie and Martin dig for clues, every lead seems to dead end. But if they don't find the bad guy soon, someone could end up dead.

About the author

There were five kids in my family and lots of noise. I learned early on that if I woke up in the middle of the night, I’d better take advantage of the silence. I’d write under the hall light until my eyes were heavy with sleep. Back then, I had a lot to say about how I wanted things to be. Like many writers, I wrote what I couldn’t bring myself to say aloud.
Once I discovered eavesdropping, I was amazed. I realized characters are everywhere. I’m one, you’re one, the jerk you just broke up with, the girl next door with Down’s syndrome, that boy in sixth grade who blushed every time his name was called, the man behind the counter at the pharmacy. And we all have our stories and our problems and our own way of looking at the world. And we all have the ability to touch someone else. We are never really alone.
As a fiction writer, I get to fabricate everybody’s history, try to see from different points of view. But I always do my best to understand who each character is and what made them the way they are. I believe that’s why people talk about my characters after they’ve finished reading the story.
I write novels, plays, poems, essays, short stories, do a bit of acting, and am a self-proclaimed doodle-ist.

Enjoyable mystery

Ms. Rogan writes the type of mystery that is a joy to read. Happily a good old fashioned who done it mixed with a how did they do it that leaves the reader flipping pages to see what mess Minnie Nun has found herself in this time. I so enjoyed watching the interaction between Minnie and Martin and the twist that developed there. I hope we see more of Danny as I believe he has so much to lend to the series.
