Publisher Description
Carol Higgins Clark, bestselling author of Fleeced and coauthor with Mary Higgins Clark of He Sees You When You're Sleeping, returns in top form in her new Regan Reilly mystery, blending her talent for intriguing locales, eccentric characters, and fast-paced suspense laced with humor.
In Jinxed, smart, saucy sleuth Regan Reilly faces a new challenge: the case of the missing wedding guest.
Regan, an LA–based private detective, returns to her office after a vacation with her beau, Jack "no relation" Reilly. Their tour of the wineries in Napa Valley and Santa Barbara County includes a stop at Altered States, a run-down winery owned by three siblings who are all former hippies—Lilac, Earl, and Leon Weldon.
Regan is barely in her office when she gets an excited call from Lilac. The Weldon family has been invited to the wedding of ninety-three-year-old Lucretia Standish, a former silent-screen star, who made a killing in a dot-com before it went bankrupt and plans to give the Weldons $2 million each … if they all show up at her wedding, which is two days away. However, Lilac's daughter Whitney, a.k.a. Freshness, a young actress, is out of touch and goes where the wind blows. If it doesn't blow her back into town by Sunday morning, the Weldon family will be out $8 million.
Regan's job is to find Whitney. But Lucretia's fianc├®, the much younger Edward Fields, is also on the hunt. He's hired an accomplice in crime to locate Whitney and get rid of her.
With Jinxed, Carol Higgins Clark is at her very best.

" Disappointing and contrived. "
— Ann, 2/11/2014 -
" A good light hearted mystery. Doesn't contain the dark twisted characters of her mother's books. The book flowed and was a fast read for me. "
— Elaine, 2/5/2014 -
" Relatively entertaining...kept me reading...but perhaps a little more mindless than I would usually choose! "
— Lisa, 2/1/2014 -
" It was enjoyable. But not the best i've read. "
— Tina, 1/31/2014 -

— Marilyn, 1/8/2014 -
" I've always loved Mary Higgins Clark mysteries and Carol's mysteries have a little more humor and are usually quick reads. "
— Bebe, 1/6/2014 -
" Simple, but fun. Material for a TV movie script IMHO. Or has it been done already? "
— vorbore, 1/6/2014 -
" Love Carol's stories. "
— Dorothy, 1/5/2014 -
" This is another great Regan Reilley mystery for the cozy series. Nice suspense and good mystery to solve involving superstition. Nicely written. "
— Kristen, 12/21/2013 -
" What a charming story with lots of quirky characters. Even the bad guys were inept, bumbling idiots so this was a mystery without a grusome mudrer to solve. "
— Carol, 12/4/2013 -
" Listened on CD while commuting. If not for that, I wouldn't have finished. "
— Theresa, 11/23/2013 -
" she is like her mom in writing, which is good and bad. I like her mom, but I feel like sometimes she is riding her mom's coat tails.... "
— Julie, 11/13/2013 -
" I like Carol Higgins Clark stories in general, but I thought this one was a little odd. Maybe it was because I listened to it on CD. "
— Jeanette, 10/11/2013 -
" This book was a waste of time. I don't think that Carol Higgins Clark is a good author. I felt that everything in the book was amateur and predictable. I'm going to stick to reading her mother's novels. "
— Brittany, 9/13/2013 -
" This book moved fast and the story line was fun "
— Lynn, 8/29/2013 -
" An easy read, but the plot was pretty predictable if you ask me. I read it in a couple of days during the summer during my bus ride to and from work. It served it's purpose- it kept me busy and kept people from striking up a conversation with me :) "
— Melissa, 7/29/2013 -
" This was a cute little who done it "
— Che', 6/15/2013 -

" Great little book! I raced through it, sorry it was over, but enjoying every bit! "
— Susan, 12/20/2012 -
" I listened to this book in the car and was entertained, but would never read it. It was a bit bizarre because the authur created outlandish links for all the characters to all the characters. I was semi-glad when the book was done. AND, the author did the audio and was HORRIBLE. "
— Haleigh, 11/30/2012 -
" I'm running out of things to say about this series already, HA! Nevertheless, another good one! "
— Amy, 11/18/2012 -
" I like this author, she combins mystery, suspense & humor. If you like the tv show Monk, you'll proabably like her books. Just purely for entertainment, not going to change your life. But sometimes I like those books! "
— Rachelle, 11/3/2012 -
" These are really quick easy going mysteries. Carol Higgins Clark likes complex plots ( make that so full of coincidences that they are not very believable) but everything ties up nicely in the end. "
— Jan, 8/13/2012 -
" Sort of crazy plot but the action really moves and keeps the reader hooked. "
— Sara, 8/6/2012 -

" nice relaxing book to read right before bed "
— Zimmer, 8/15/2011 -
" Just didn't grab me. I only read about half of it. Seemed to be too contrived - or I was just distracted by world events. I might give it another read in a month or so, "
— Marianne, 7/16/2011 -
" Light and interesting but predictable. Easy read. "
— Elaine, 7/15/2011 -
