Except Win's dropped me right at a dead woman's feet.<br /><br />Madam Zoltar, the town's beloved fake medium, has been murdered, and Win wants me to catch the killer.<br /><br />My old life won't be worth much if it gets me whacked before my new life has barely begun--and that seems to be exactly what the killer has planned!<br /><br />This cozy mystery has a complete cast of oddball characters from witches to ghosts and bats to psychics.
