PI Regan Reilly moved from Los Angeles to New York City when she married Jack “no relation” Reilly, head of the NYPD Major Case Squad. To help a friend, Regan takes on a case that takes her back to her old stomping grounds. . . . On a snowy day in New York City, PI Regan Reilly gets an urgent call from her former neighbor, Abigail Feeney. A Hollywood hairdresser, Abigail believes her life has been cursed since the day she was born— Friday the 13th. Always unlucky in love, Abigail now needs Regan’s help in tracking down an ex-boyfriend who was just spotted in downtown Los Angeles—a “nogood bum” who borrowed $100,000 from her three months ago, then promptly disappeared. Abigail desperately needs to get that money back, money given to her by her grandmother who is heading to L.A. Grandma Feeney, no shrinking violet, has plans to buy an old friend’s condo for Abigail and will need that hard-earned money to make the deal. With hubby Jack away, the weather in New York miserable, and the guiltprovoking memory that Abigail had brought her chicken soup when she was sick, Regan agrees to hop a plane. Before long, the hunt for Abigail’s ex takes some dangerous turns. . . . But when Abigail becomes a suspect in a murder investigation, Regan begins to wonder if the curse is real—and possibly contagious!

“Entertaining . . . light and fast-paced . . . and it will surprise you, too.”
“Clark’s bubbly humor makes this a great vacation read for mystery-lite fans who love a Hollywood twist.”
“Authors who read their own works can be a mixed blessing, but Carol Higgins Clark is an actor, too, and she capably delivers her twelfth Regan Reilly mystery…This cozy provides Clark a real challenge as narrator…She succeeds.”
“Fans of the Regan Reilly mysteries will be happy with this twelfth book in the series, which has everything they’ve come to expect from Clark: light humor, good characters, and an interesting mystery.”
" I have enjoyed all of Carol Higgins Clark's books. They're always good for a light read. She has a similar style to her mother's (Mary Higgins Clark)--murder mystery-- but with a bit of humor. "
" This is a quick fun read. The story is humorous with twists and turns in every chapter. I would recommend this as a book to take to the beach for an afternoon of escape. "
" Peopled with characters as quirky as ever, & it's about time Regan Reilly had an adventure in L.A. "
" It was OK. An easy and quick read. Not too much deep thinking. "
" This was a very preictable book. Some what boring. "
" It wasn't as good as her last one, but I enjoyed it. It had some fun humor that you don't normally find in this genre. "
" Enjoyed this very much. Am getting used to the whole Keystone Kops thing with people barely missing each other and coincidences of who knows who. The mystery was great and the story funny and engaging. "
" Carol Higgins Clark's books are always nice and clean and she's always good for a nice mystery. "
" Standard fare for Carol Higgins Clark, but the ending was so unusually bad & rushed. "
" I loved this book. Regan seems to always find an adventure. I loved the ending to the book. Fast paced reading that is a mystery but also funny. "
" This book is not usually my style of reading and was a little hard to get into in the begining but it definately picked up and showed me that you you dont always have to follow one genre. its a good read and i would recomend it to anyone who loves a good mystery. "
" This was a book I did not want to put down. When friends get together no matter the reason trouble can find them. Kept one wondering what was going to happen next. "
" I know 3 stars is probably a lot more than it deserves, but it was the perfect book to spend a lazy rainy morning in bed with! "
" I enjoyed this as a mindless read... Things in her books are always just too convenient and there are too many character coincidences. "
" A modern day mystery with some unusual twists....some of the characters were a tad lame, but overall an ok story. "
" The latest mystery in the Reagan Reilly mystery series by Carol Higgins Clark is a bit more well written than previous ones. I wonder if her mom (Mary Higgins Clark) helped her with this one. Her mom is definitely a better writer. "
" A decent, light, fast reading mystery. Great for a rainy day. "
" I am a fan of Regan Reilly but this would not be one of my favorites in the series. The misshaps of Abigail are too unbelievable (e.g., the stalker). On the other hand, I didn't figure it out and being surprised at the end is always a good thing! "
" 3.5 stars. I liked this one more because I didn't know "who done it." I prefer that type of mystery. Some interesting characters and I think Abigail really is cursed! "
" Fast paced and enjoyable.... way better than what I expected... "
" I hadn't read this author before. I won't bother again. The story was choppy and for a murder mystery, it had little or no suspense. "
" This book was a nice easy read. The perfect book to read when I was sick because I didn't have to think too much. "
" A Regan Reilly mystery. Former neighbor needs help getting $100,000 back from boyfriend who left he borrowed the funds. "
" Funny book! One murder, mostly mayhem. Gosh, a nice, light read for me and no rough language. I've always enjoyed MHC books and this I just picked up on a whim. "
" Absolutely entertaining mystery novel, full of suspense, humour. It is a light read and enjoyable.Reminds me of James Hadley Chase's style. "
" Too many characters, not enough character development, random events that were not relevant, and a weak plot with poor plot development. The story line had so much potential. I was hoping for more... "
" Enjoyable, quick beach read. Carol Higgins Clark follows her mother's formula for mysteries. It is a fun read. "
" Its a nice story, but she's not as good a writer as her mother - at least not yet. "
