The Vanished Priestess (Annie Szabo, Bk 2)
The Vanished Priestess - Annie Szabo, Bk 2 Author:Meredith Blevins The indomitable Annie Szabo has lost too many friends and loved ones, so the death of Margo Spanger hits hard. Margo, Annie's neighbor, was a cultural icon with money and fame. Maybe too much. She used one of her projects, a New Age circus, to fund a women's shelter. When Margo's partner, Lili, goes missing the day of Margo's dea... more »th, the circus and shelter fall into disarray. It turns Annie's world upside down, too. Her daughter is a resident of the women's shelter and could become the next victim.
More trouble: Annie's mother-in-law, the Gypsy fortune-teller Madame Mina, plants her trailer in Annie's yard with a vengeance, right next to Annie's pet giraffes.
Aided by an ex-cop and Mina's plant medicine, Annie uncovers Margo's past.

As Annie delves into their surprisingly tangled lives, one thing becomes clear -- the killer is a master of disguises, and time is running out. However, when Annie and Madame Mina stop arguing long enough to put their heads together, the truth can't hide. « less
