Cursed

Written by Karol Ruth Silverstein

Narrated by Laura Knight Keating

I have this pathetic disease. Never mind what it’s called.

Life doesn’t play by the rules, so fourteen-year-old Ricky decides she won’t either. Ricky’s rules
allow for cursing, cutting school, and lying to the Disaster-Formerly-Known-As-Her-Parents. That is,
until her truancy is discovered and she’s facing the threat of having to repeat ninth grade.

It all makes her feel so angry … so cursed.

Going back to school would be ten times worse if it weren’t for a new friend—quirky/cute
classmate Oliver, a childhood cancer survivor who understands what it’s like to be sick. Ricky
also discovers that her strict public speaking teacher, who has zero expectations of her, is a supermotivating force. There’s nothing like proving someone wrong.

The harder Ricky works, the more she wonders if school has something to teach her after all. …
What if she isn’t cursed? What if going it alone isn’t her only option?

P.I. Regan Reilly gets a call from a friend in LA to help her find an ex-boyfriend who owes her money. Jack is out of town so Regan accepts and heads off to her old stomping grounds. Abigail insists that because she was born on Friday the 13th she is cursed and it sure seems like bad luck follows her. Once Regan lands in LA she finds out that Abigail is suspected in a murder, she has lost her apartment, there is an earthquake so the two of them have to drive all over checking out the houses she is housesitting and the owner of the house where they are staying has a stalker ex-wife who is released from jail. All this combines to make Regan's job more complicated.

Abigail believes she has been cursed since the day she was born on Friday the 13th. Just days before her birthday, Abigail's birthday she calls upon a former neighbor and private investigator friend Regan Reilly to return to California and help her solve her latest dilemmas.

This mystery is a "fun" and delightful read on a grey, misting rain showers Sunday afternoon.

You think you've got bad luck. Try being born on a Friday the thirteenth and then have every important event tarnished because something bad happens just before and thwarts you're going to it or doing it!This is what happens to a friend of Regen Reilly's and Regen is off to California to help her friend out. What starts out as a simple case of getting money back turns to murder and a stalker (though not the murderer) as well. And all this takes place in just three days!
