Synopsis

Visiting a psychic is outside the norm for Ellison Russell. Finding bodies is not. Unfortunately, the psychic’s crystal ball says she’ll soon be surrounded by death. Again.

Drat.

Now there’s a corpse in the front drive, a witchy neighbor ready to turn Ellison and her (not so) little dog into toadstools, and a stripper named Starry Knight occupying the guest room.

How did 1975 go so wrong so quickly?

Ellison must handle Mother (who’s found a body of her own), make up with a certain handsome detective, and catch a killer, or the death surrounding her might be her own.

Excerpt

“Bye, Mom.” Grace deposited her dirty cereal bowl in the sink, dropped a kiss on my cheek, and headed for the back door.

“Dishwasher?”

With a dramatic sigh, she returned to the counter and moved the bowl from sink to dishwasher.

“Are you home for dinner?” I asked.

“Yeah.” She buttoned her coat and disappeared into the cold.

“Love you,” I called after her.

Max stood, stretched, yawned, and returned to his bed.

I sipped coffee and stared at the wall, deep in thought.

Aggie bustled into the kitchen and I shifted my attention from the wall to my housekeeper. She wore a cobalt blue kaftan edged with crimson pom-poms. Her red hair crackled with energy.

“Do you have a minute?” I asked.

“Of course.”

“Mother has a problem.” Those two words. Mother and problem. They were enough to send the bravest woman running.

But not Aggie. Aggie pulled out a stool and sat. “I figured something was wrong. No one calls that often without a big problem.”
