Quote:
This sexy, witty, suspenseful, and wildly original mystery paints the portrait of a vibrant family. When the Szabo women put their heads together, sometimes bending a few laws, balance and justice are restored . . . At least temporarily!
"Blevins flavors her lively prose with frequent humor and unexpected twists. Readers will be drawn in by the riveting characters, great plot, and insights into Gypsy culture." ~ Library Journal, starred review, Best of Year, Genre Fiction
Moving on with her life after the unexpected death of her husband, Annie Szabo and her grown daughter are settled in, and finally earning some real bucks. But when Annie’s oldest friend, Jerry, turns up dead, she is plunged back into the family—an outrageous clan of Gypsies—that she tried to leave behind.
Suspecting murder, Annie must form an alliance with Madame Mina, her fortune-telling mother-in-law . . . . the quirky heart of the Szabo family. Determined to catch Jerry’s killer, the two women—with the help of Annie’s daughter—unravel a tapestry wild with lawyers, kink, magic, threats, and theatrics.
To catch the bad guy, three generations of women pull out all the stops, using ancient curses, a talent for petty theft, love magic, a strong sense of humor, flirtation, and their family bond which is much stronger than death.
Rising from the mayhem is an extraordinary Gypsy man, the Hummingbird Wizard. Appearing in Annie’s life, and in her bed, he could prove to be the only person to bring the scattered pieces of the community, and Annie’s life, together. Or, he could tear it all apart forever in the wake of passion and revenge.
