No gimmicks, just an intriguing plot with oddball characters. I hope Mira's misfortune of stumbling over a dead body every month lasts for many years!"--Donna Andrews, <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of <em>Stork Raving Mad</em></p><p>"With snappy jokes and edgy dialog, Lourey brings a Gen-X tone to a traditional mystery. The classic romance setup and her effective handling of eldercare issues enhance a clever plot. More spunky than sweet; get started on this Lefty-nominated series if you've previously missed it."--<em>Library Journal </em>(starred review)</p><br>
