With pandemic-fearing city dwellers fleeing to the New Jersey suburbs, Risko Realty—and Odessa Jones—are having their best year ever. Finally on solid financial footing, Odessa is debt-free and looking forward to the future. But she doesn't need second sight to sense her new young co-worker, Anna Lee, is on edge—and straight-up terrified—in spite of her hot sales record and sunny, outgoing attitude. And when Anna is killed in a hit-and-run, Odessa sees immediately that it was no accident . . .

It's soon clear that Anna was being stalked. But even with the help of family, friends—and Odessa's feisty cat, Juniper-Odessa is coming up with more questions than clues. Why was Anna avoiding influential real-estate mogul Emily Delbarton? Why is Delbarton's decidedly creepy brother so fixated on Anna? Did Anna make enemies through her previous job at the town's exclusive gentlemen's club? And can Odessa rule out her own ex-fiance—who's back in her life with an astounding connection to Anna—and wanting a second chance? Finding the answers will come at an increasingly deadly cost-one Odessa's talents must somehow trap a killer to repay . . .

Love VWW mysteries. I do have to relisten to stories a few times to understand the various characters and their histories. Would love to see her books turned into movies

Great twist

I can’t wait for book 4. I love Dessa and her aunts, but I need more Juniper.

Love this series

The twists keep you guessing. The characters keep you engaged. If nobody had died, I'd still want to know what this hang is getting up to.
it's a fun read.

Fun and fast-paced...
