THE GYPSY WARNED YOU!

It was supposed to be Annabel's Tarot reading but she chickens out at the last moment and begs Kate to take her place. Kate has just split up with Tom, who deserted her for devoted Lorna, the woman who's been stalking him since they left university. Living opposite an ancient Gothic cemetery doesn't help either, especially as she's being tormented by a frightening recurrent dream. In need of a break, she books a short holiday in Venice, unaware that she's being irrevocably drawn into the mysterious death of Caterina over a century before. Who was Caterina? And why does the Villa Alatri feel so familiar?

Help arrives in the form of Annabel, Kate's scatty best friend, and Shirl, a down-to-earth psychic from Manchester. Not forgetting Adam, the gorgeous travel writer, Sofia, who has inherited the Villa Alatri, Randolphos Popov, the hypnotist, and a host of other fascinating characters. Shirl, Annabel, and Fritz the dachshund, are the comic highlights.

A funny and warm-hearted tale of friendship, fate, and things that go bump in the night.

Book 1 in the Kate and Annabel Mysteries series - followed by 'The Bee's Knees and Other Spirits'.
