Widower Justin Sadler believes that the spirit of his wife is hanging around their home, and he so wants to believe she is trying to get in touch with him. Her death was over a year ago and he is still grieving. Not knowing what else to do, he gets in touch with the Domestic Equalizers, Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins- Martin, and asks for their help. Debbie Sue is excited about this new client, but Edwina wants no part of it. They agree to go out to his farm to determine if someone is trying to gaslight Justin.
Meanwhile in El Paso, Sophia Paredes is grieving over the recent loss of her grandmother, Isabella, and wondering how she is going to pay all of the debts incurred during Isabella's long illness. In her day, Isabella Paredes was a respected, well-known true psychic. She and Edwina had met years ago through Edwina's mother-in-law-at-the-time. Sophia has never told anyone she inherited her grandmother's abilities.
Debbie Sue talks to Justin about bringing Isabella Paredes to town to assist in the investigation, if they can afford her. Seeing an opportunity earn some money, Sophia accepts the job but fails to mention her grandmother is dead. Once Sophia arrives in Salt Lick, she proves that she also has strong psychic abilities. Justin's dead wife knows someone is out to harm her husband and leaves him a specific message that Sophia can help him.
If it is a book by Dixie Cash, it is a fun and funny, sassy and sexy, and an all around terrific read. This tale gives the Domestic Equalizers' husbands more of a starring role, along with Justin and Sophia. This is a stand alone book, but a newcomer will enjoy the series a lot more by beginning with If You're Leaving Anyway, Take Out the Trash. As for the many established fans, we're always happy to read about the high jinx of these wonderful, impossible women.
Full-time hairdressers and part-time private detectives,
Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martinβthe
Domestic Equalizersβhave dealt with cheating spouses,
shady business deals, Elvis-obsessed shoe thieves, even
murder. But ghosts? That's a whole new rodeo!
Justin Sadler's just coming to terms with the absence of
his dear departed Rachelβbut now he's not so sure she's
departed! Every time he goes home he knows someone's been
thereβand if it's not Rachel trying to communicate from
beyond, it's someone else who's trying to drive him stark
raving bonkers. So the Equalizers are on the case, with
the help of an El Paso psychic who's so dead-on, it's
scary. It's enough to make any good ol' gal's big hair
stand on end!
The investigation leads them toward one of their tiny West
Texas town's more unsavory charactersβand, all things
considered, Debbie Sue would much rather be cuddling in
the arms of her hubby, the sexiest cop in the whole nation
of Texas. But the Equalizers will never say die . . . even
when dealing with the restless dead.
