Description
Dr. Kelly Elizabeth York has spent her life helping people solve their problems. A celebrity astrologer and psychologist with a devoted following, she now finds herself in the unlikely and terrifying position of helping the police and the FBI determine the identity of a serial killer--who just may be targeting her.
Until now, Kelly has lived a comfortable, fulfilling life in her Upper West Side brownstone, with her housekeeper, Emma, and her loyal Siberian husky, King, by her side. Yet when four beautiful young women are found murdered, astrological signs carved into their thighs, she is drawn into a mystery whose clues may lead back to an astrological reading gone terribly awry.
Surrounding Kelly is a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, including an obsessed police detective who will do almost anything to track down the killer, a best friend reeling from the loss of her lover, and an ex-husband and a flirtatious photographer, both of whom may not be above suspicion. In the finest suspense tradition, Horoscope keeps us on the edge of our seats while it draws us into the lives of people whose fortunes seem inextricably linked.
Advance Praise
"I was quickly caught up in the suspense of Horoscope. The characters are well-crafted and compellingly real. It's a fun murder mystery. A great read!"
--Sela Ward, actress and author of Homesick
"With its intriguing use of astrology as a repeating element and the touching backstory about its author, with an engaging and sympathetic heroine and its bonus supply of FBI lore, Horoscope is an absorbing and most satisfying read."
--Jamie Wolf, Vice President, PEN Center USA
"A taut psychological thriller, Horoscope, combines the best of literary fiction with heart-pounding suspense. Kelly York helps others chart the course of their lives but can't bring herself to leave her house. She alone may have the clues to track down a serial killer. But will the stars align to make her the next victim? With its compelling characters and rich, multilayered plot, Horoscope is mystery writing at its best."
--Lori Andrews, author of the Alexandra Blake mysteries, Sequence, The Silent Assssin, and Immunity
