Murder, Mystics, and Menopause (Emerald City Paranormal Women's Fiction: 1)
Welcome to Laurie Olson’s worst week ever.
Wrongly accused of murder. Under house arrest. Taking crime-solving advice from a talking Havanese named Rosa.
One minute, Dr. Laurie Olson is enjoying her high school reunion in Seattle. The next, she’s arrested for murdering her old flame’s wife—a woman she barely knew and definitely didn’t kill. Oh, and now she can talk to animals.
Out on bail and desperate to clear her name, Laurie joins forces with her two best friends to uncover the truth. But amateur sleuthing gets complicated when one friend sees ghosts, the other practices magic, and Laurie’s newest advisor is a talking Havanese named Rosa who has strong opinions about suspects, snacks, and crime-solving.
As the investigation twists through Seattle’s hidden corners, Laurie discovers that someone is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the truth buried. And when her old flame reappears, unresolved feelings threaten to distract her from a killer who may be far closer than anyone suspects.
Can Laurie catch the real murderer before she becomes the next victim? Or will her newfound powers lead her straight into danger? If you love sassy heroines, talking animals, found family, and mysteries with a magical twist, you’ll devour this paranormal cozy mystery.
