"A fantastic debut-unique concept"
Nickleberry is not quite like any other town in the state
of Texas. For entertainment, the locals do not go to
barbecues or play charades at a party. Instead, they have
palm readers and tarot readers entertain everyone. These
new age people are not charlatans either as they are next
door neighbors. High school English teacher Willi Gallagher has visions
that come to her though she tries to close herself off from
them. Willi is eavesdropping which she does whenever she
can get away with it and overhears two girls D'Dee
Oxhandler and Adela Zeta talking about the coven they
joined. Apparently, both want to leave but they are afraid
the unknown leader will do something to them. When Willi
chaperones a group of students on sleep away trip to
Galveston, both D'Dee and Adela are killed. The police
insist there is no foul play but Willi intends to prove
otherwise, especially to a psychic stud muffin in a Texas
Ranger outfit. ALL SIGNS POINT TO MURDER is a delightful, whimsical and
out of the ordinary mystery that fans will simply adore.
The characters are eccentric, colorful and warmly enter the
readers' hearts. The lead protagonist is a contrary yet
engaging heroine whose independent streak leads her into
many problems. Kat Goldring is an up and coming author who
should be put on mystery lovers to be read list. Harriet Klausner
