Somebody feels threatened by Aggie's commitment to researching and writing the family history. Leaving threatening phone calls, emails, and faxes, the bad guy doesn't give up. Hiring a killer, a neophyte bad guy, this stalker trails Aggie and her double cousin to France, and on a river cruise, and then on a cross-country drive. The problem-what sort of scandal occured in the recent or distant past to send a family member on such a deadly quest? What could Aggie possibly uncover that's so awful as to require murder most foul? Aggie's research takes her and Lisa back to the past on a historical adventure, where we see the settling of the west, particularly Wyoming, through the eyes of the cousins' great-great-grandmothers. Meanwhile, in this day and age, one wonders what in the world possessed another cousin to marry a real loser, a teller turned bank VP after marrying the secretary of state. Also, Aggie's generation of cousins are bent on playing cupid, except they're in conflict about whom and why. Should they push Senator Steve Norman at Cousin Nasty, or devise romantic scenarios for Steve with Nicole, Aggie's granddaughter? These two sub-plots get in the way of Aggie's quest, one of which contributes to her search and her desperate efforts to save her own life, and the other sub-plot of which must inevitably foil the primary plot. (Aggie's Double Dollies, more than any other of the Aggie Morissey mysteries, helps to unravel the family saga)
