Murder, Mystics, and Menopause

Emerald City Paranormal Women’s Fiction

By: Theresa Crater

Narrated by: Anna Crowe

She’s confronting hot flashes and hecklers. But can this sharp-witted professor solve a high-stakes homicide?

Dr. Laurie Olson craves a break. So when her thirtieth high school reunion offers a brief escape back to her hometown of Seattle, the amicably divorced woman jumps at the chance to revisit her free-spirited self. But she’s shocked when a trio of disasters suddenly leaves her able to talk to animals… and under arrest for murdering the wife of the guy who stole her heart.

Out on bail with an embarrassing ankle monitor, Laurie joins forces with her longtime besties to hunt down possible suspects and clear her name. And if dealing with a spunky canine’s nose-guided clues and a pal’s ghostly visions weren’t keeping her busy, the long-buried relationship with her old boyfriend soon starts sending up fresh sparks.

Are her newfound supernatural sleuthing abilities enough to help collar a killer?

Murder, Mystics, and Menopause is the lighthearted first book in the Emerald City Paranormal Women’s Fiction series. If you like relatable characters, surprise endings, and nail-biting tension, then you’ll love Theresa Crater’s clever puzzle.
