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.”
