βA pleasant mix of cozy and paranormalβ (The Mystery Reader) this βappealing as apple pieβ (Harley Jane Kozak) series βproves the vivacious Jaffarian is the literary heir apparent to Lucille Ball!β (The Book Resort) as a spiritual medium counts on family (those dead and alive) to help her get to the core of the most baffling crimesβ¦
A party is giving Kelly Whitecastle a chance to play catch-up with old friends, and sheβs especially keen on seeing Chris May again, an up-and-coming ventriloquist. But when Kelly sees his show, and Chrisβs dummies, a couple named Shirley and Doug, appear to be staring straight at her, it only rattles Kellyβs nerves.
It seems that the ghosts of Chrisβs grandparents inhabit those grinning heads full of sawdust and they have a warning for Kelly: Chris is in mortal danger. Now Kellyβs working the nightclub circuit to find out whoβor whatβwants Chris dead. And sheβd better do it fast before the final curtain falls on Chrisβs act.
Includes excerpts from the first three books in the series, plus a preview of the new Ghost of Granny Apples Mystery, Ghost of a Gamble
