Book Description:
Liz Talbot thinks she’s seen another
ghost when she meets Calista McQueen. She’s the spitting image of
Marilyn Monroe. Born precisely fifty years after the ill-fated star,
Calista’s life has eerily mirrored the late starlet’s—and she fears the
looming anniversary of Marilyn’s death will also be hers.
Before Liz can open a case file,
Calista’s life coach is executed. Suspicious characters swarm around
Calista like mosquitoes on a sultry lowcountry evening: her certifiable
mother, a fake aunt, her control-freak psychoanalyst, a private yoga
instructor, her peculiar housekeeper, and an obsessed ex-husband. Liz
digs in to find a motive for murder, but she’s besieged with
distractions. Her ex has marriage and babies on his mind. Her too-sexy
partner engages in a campaign of repeat seduction. Mamma needs help with
Daddy’s devotion to bad habits. And a gang of wild hogs is running
loose on Stella Maris.
With the heat index approaching triple
digits, Liz races to uncover a diabolical murder plot in time to save
not only Calista’s life, but also her own.
Idgie Says:
This is a cute story. I don't say that in a sarcastic vein either - the world needs fun, light, escapist books. It's refreshing to sink into an story and just ride along for a while.
This novel has a ghost sidekick that makes snide remarks, a woman who's channeling Marilyn Monroe, a PI who barely thinks there's a case to be had and several hunky men. Really, what more do you need?
At a little over 200 pages, it's a perfect "getaway" book.
