The Auctionhouse Murders: Sally the Loner, #2

By Alexie Linn

Sally's mother came for tea – 20 years after her death. The reason for the visit? To charge Sally with the task of clearing her mother (Sally's grandma Lydia) of three imaginative but despicable murders.

But wait! There's more than meets the eye in this conglomeration of old and new characters bumping heads.  Who's really the evil one? Or is it evil ones?

How many spooks does it take to solve 75-year-old murders? Do the ghosts help or hinder the task? Or are they sitting on the sidelines, laughing at the ruckus they've caused? Is this one family's ultimate 'Gotcha!'?

Hop on. Buckle up. Tickle your sourdough starter. And enjoy the ride.

Alexie Linn

Alexie Linn was born and raised in the 'mild' Pacific Northwest -- where the snow drifts are never higher than the barn roofs.  Her first year of married life was lived in Alaska, in a tent and a homesteader's cabin -- where she got closely acquainted with sourdough and beans.  She escaped to the desert southwest, became a widow, and life then began. Alexie is a papered Life Coach, Nutritional Therapist, and Counselor with a vivid -- sometimes outrageous imagination. She's also a slave to Joan Freed, the rebel life coach who, somehow, manages to come out on top of her mysterious and chaotic adventures.
