Reluctant psychic Katrina Parker always suspected her love of tacos would one day get her into trouble. She just always believed it would come in the form of tight jeans, not a decapitated head and the quiet ghost attached to it.

Agreeing to lend a hand to the severed head, Kat discovers that the problems of lugging a head all over town, crashing a wake, and keeping it hidden from hunky detective Damian Johnson all pale in comparison to having to deal with the constant smell issue.

Each misstep brings her closer to an answer, yet even closer to danger. And with her friends and family now in the line of fire, Kat must keep all her wits about her or risk losing her own head.

Earlier in the week I finished book 2 of this series. Talking With The Dead

These books are quite funny. Just what I need in these harrowing times.

Stepping away from fiction, my book club read Cassidy Hutchison's book "Enough" . I reserved the E-book in the library immediately and received it Wednesday. I was #43 in the queue. The first part of the book is about her life before the White House and it's rather mundane except for her father who was a real piece of work. As the action gets closer to the events, the tension actually begins to rise. It did not take that long to read, and it was intriguing.

Our November book is a Jane Austen "Persuasion" and I found an e-book that is the original manuscript. I am looking forward to it.
