Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Mojo is trying to enjoy her posh new home, but she'd rather be back living over Bad-Ass Bert's Biker Saloon, where life was simpler. Her sexy cop boyfriend can't let go of his past, while her wealthy sister is being blackmailed for secrets in hers. And Mojo's smack in the middle of it all.

As the murders pile up, Mojo is starting to uncover secrets that even the dead don't want disturbed.…

Review:

"Miller's got major storytelling mojo for the second adventure set in Cave Creek, Ariz. (after Deadly Gamble) starring Mary Josephine Mayhugh — aka Mojo Sheepshanks. A very green PI who blithely accepts her ability to talk to ghosts, Mojo is determined to help them resolve the issues that keep them hanging around and isn't above asking for their assistance in solving cases involving live people. When seven-year-old deaf-mute Gillian Pellaway is strangled leaving a ballet lesson with her stepdad, the latter is accused of the crime, and Gillian appears to ask Mojo for assistance. Then Alex, the cheating husband of Mojo's adopted sister, Greer Pennington, is brutally murdered, and Greer becomes a prime suspect. Tucker Darroch, a homicide cop who's crazy about Mojo, provides moral support for these parallel cases, and intriguing plot twists involving Greer's past and other ghosts keep the story tight, funny, sexy and cool. Miller makes Mojo much more than another cute, quirky crime solver who sees dead people." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Feisty Mojo Sheepshanks from "Deadly Gamble" is now coming to grips with her ability to see ghosts. She soon finds herself in over her head as a blackmailer terrorizes her wealthy sister and hard truths about the family begin to surface. Original.

An exciting follow up to Miller's previous book, Deadly Gamble, dealing with Mojo Sheepshanks, a woman who "sees dead people". Like the previous book, I could not put this one down and read it in a day. If you like mystery and romance with a little of the supernatural thrown in for good measure, you will not be disappointed.
