Buried Innocence - A Mary O'Reilly Paranormal Mystery - Book Thirteen (Mary O'Reilly Series 13)

Placing the bags on the counter, Donna slipped off her jacket and hung it on the back of a kitchen chair, and then she pulled an apron over her work clothes. She started unpacking the groceries, first putting the refrigerated foods away and then she started working on the canned goods. She smiled as she heard Ryan singing. It wasnâ€™t a tune she was familiar with, so he must have learned it in daycare.
â€œWhere did you learn that song?â€ she asked him, leaning over the open counter to listen more closely to the words.
â€œLiza taught it to me,â€ he said.
She smiled. Ryanâ€™s invisible friend was certainly creative. â€œWell, say thank you to Liza for me,â€ she replied. â€œItâ€™s a pretty song.â€
He continued singing it, â€œWho will wipe away my tears? Who will chase away my fears? Who will sing me to sleep at night? Who will tuck me in real tight? Now that Mommaâ€™s dead and gone, now that Mommaâ€™s dead and gone.â€
Slightly alarmed at the lyrics, Donna walked around the counter and entered the living room. â€œHow would you like to watch your favorite cartoon?â€ she asked, picking up a DVD on a shelf next to the television set and sliding it into the DVD player.
â€œBut Liza still wants to sing,â€ Ryan said.
â€œWell, Liza can sing and you can watch television,â€ she said. â€œHowâ€™s that for a compromise.â€
He nodded. â€œI guess that will be fine.â€
She turned on the television and waited until Ryanâ€™s show started before returning to the kitchen to put away the rest of the groceries. She opened up a cupboard and was reaching up to the top shelf to put an extra jar of peanut butter away when she heard the soft voice behind her. It was high-pitched, like a little girlâ€™s voice, but it held an ethereal quality to it as it filled the kitchen.
â€œWho will wipe away my tears? Who will chase away my fears? Who will sing me to sleep at night? Who will tuck me in real tight? Now that Mommaâ€™s dead and gone, now that Mommaâ€™s dead and gone.â€
Mary Oâ€™Reilly receives a call from a friend in Galena urging her to drive there and speak with a woman who is sure her house is haunted by a little girl. Once she meets the child, she is astonished to discover the child was re-homed, an underground adoption practice still practiced in the United States. Unfortunately, her re-homing did not end well and Mary, Bradley and Mike search for a couple who â€œadoptâ€ unwanted children and then murder them.
