Apparently I didn’t kill my rose bush last winter when I ripped it out of it’s pot savagely and shoved it in the ground. My theory is if the plant can’t live through my brutal replanting methods, it won’t make it through my daily neglectful ways. This little beauty seems to be thriving though. Any minute now it will explode with color.

The Vanished Priestess (The Annie Szabo Mystery Series)
by Meredith Blevins
Genre: Women’s Fiction | Mystery | Contemporary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Sexy, smart and fun, the feisty Szabo women join forces once again. Annie is the heroine who must walk a treacherous tightrope to save her home and family. Her audacious Gypsy mother-in-law, Madame Mina, uses cures and curses to cover Annie’s back. Engaging and exotic! “Over-the-big-top characters keep the plot spinning, and the mystery pays off with colorful atmosphere, eventful storytelling, and a dramatic finish.” – Mystery Scene
The indomitable Annie Szabo has lost too many friends and loved ones, so the death of Margo Spanger hits hard. Margo, Annie’s neighbor and close friend, was a cultural icon with money and fame — maybe too much…
Margo used one of her projects, a New Age cirque, to fund a women’s shelter. She is found dead on the property, and there’s not one clue about the killer’s identity. When Margo’s partner, Lili, goes missing the day of Margo’s death, the circus and shelter fall into disarray. It turns Annie’s own world upside down, too — her daughter is a resident of the women’s shelter and could become the next victim.
Aided by an ex-cop and Mina’s plant medicine, Annie uncovers Margo’s past. She had rattled a lot of cages: the wine country’s power elite; one sexy trapeze artist; a jealous lover; a captain of industry; her long-lost son; and an ice-blond philanthropist. As Annie delves into their surprisingly tangled lives, one thing becomes clear — the killer is a master of disguise, and time is running out.
The Szabo women learn that, under or outside the big top, anything and everything may be an illusion, and justice sometimes wears a surprising mask.
