Jinxed (A Jinx Fogarty Mystery)

by Kathryn Leigh Scott

Back on the comeback trail, actress Meg Barnes, beloved for her role as amateur sleuth Jinx Fogarty in a renowned detective show, assumes she’ll star as Jinx in the revamped TV series, only to discover that a young ingénue has been cast instead. Meg swallows her pride for a paycheck to coach Chelsea Horne—until temperamental Chelsea goes missing before filming begins. Meg ignores the warnings from Jack, her FBI-agent boyfriend, not to do her “Jinx thing.” But when Jinx’s iconic top hat goes missing and someone from her past is murdered, it’s clear Meg’s life—and more—is in jeopardy.

“Fast-paced, breezy and often surprising, Jinxed is a romantic mystery in a vein pleasantly similar to Janet Evanovich. Kathryn Leigh Scott also has a flair for loading her supporting cast with colorful and eccentric characters. The author’s literary style is witty and conversational, and she has a knack for making the reader feel they’re getting a personally guided tour through Hollywood territory on a backstage pass.”–Examiner.com
