Dead and Deader (Lucy McGuffin, Psychic Amateur Detective Book 7)

Lucy McGuffin’s life is about to change. Her police chief boyfriend Travis is whisking her away on a romantic weekend getaway, and Lucy is convinced Travis is about to drop the “L” word. But then disaster strikes. Lucy’s mother Molly accidentally runs over the neighborhood’s biggest grouch Frank Milhouse.

Frank had just stormed out of a heated HOA meeting where he’d threatened to destroy Molly’s presidential election campaign “by any means necessary.” To everyone else, it looks like Molly snapped and ran him down. But Lucy is convinced that Frank was already dead and someone’s setting her mom up to take the wrap.

Now Lucy has a choice: let Travis whisk her away for what might be a life-changing weekend, or stay behind to prove her mother didn’t commit murder. With an anonymous food critic called The Fussy Foodie targeting local bakeries and her own café potentially in the crosshairs, Lucy’s world is falling apart faster than a failed soufflé.

Racing against time, Lucy and her little rescue dog Paco must find the real killer before her love life and her mother’s freedom both go down in flames.
