A Sexy, Suspenseful Mystery Filled with Humor, Magic, and Gypsy Flair

In this witty and wildly original mystery, the Szabo women bend the rules—and the laws—to restore balance and justice. But when the past resurfaces, so do the secrets.

Annie Szabo thought she had moved on after the tragic death of her husband. With her daughter by her side and a steady income at last, life was beginning to feel stable. But when Annie’s oldest friend, Jerry, is found dead, she is pulled back into the chaotic world of the Szabo clan—an outrageous family of Gypsies she had tried to escape.

Convinced it’s murder, Annie teams up with her eccentric mother-in-law, the fortune-telling Madame Mina, to uncover the truth. Together with her daughter, the three generations dive into a world of magic, lies, and danger. With a mix of ancient curses, flirtation, and petty theft, they’ll stop at nothing to catch Jerry’s killer.

Will their family bond be enough to face down the ultimate threat, or will the secrets they uncover tear them apart?
