Now how many advice to the lovelorn throuogh astrology heroines do you know who can take the reader on a fun ride while solving a good mystery, complete with an expressive chameleon named Fluffy who rides on her shoulder. As one reviewer said, "Jorgensen endows her heroine with a combination of savvy and foolishness that make her just right for this promising new series."

Ms. Jorgensen's Stella the Stargazer's first mystery is much fun to read. Jane Smsith quits her boring job, ditches her faithless boyfriend, and employs her more unique talents to become "Stella the Stargazer" at the local newspaper where she offers horoscope advice for the lovelorn in Denver. Having one obsessive habit, that of buying sexy lingerie, the ink is barely dry on her first column when seh stumbles upon the dead body of the owner of her favorite special lingerie shop. Add apolice detective she almost liked until he accuses her of murder, toss in her own uncanny sixth sense that kicks in at odd times, and the future is a bit unpredictable, especially with a killer gazing at Stella. Stella's quirky humor and human frailities will endear her to many readers.
