In Maggie Bradstreet’s diary, excitement turns to horror as more and more people are accused of witchcraft, and her best friend’s mother is taken off to jail.

Too gutsy for her own time, Maggie is a girl today’s readers will understand. The novel is a page-turner–part mystery, part romance, part coming-of-age story.

In this collection of short mystery fiction, the title story tells of an avenger with a supernatural twist. The final story, “When a Bright Star Fades,” brings an edge of redemption to a 1930’s noir. In between are five stories that range from family relationships, to courtroom drama. “Ms. Moran must be a shape-shifter because she manages to slip into each character’s skin and speak in a voice that is true and unique. Her range is remarkable. I was sorry when the book ended, but these are the kind of stories I know I’ll go back to.”

Her band, Maxximum Blues, is really taking off, thanks to the talents of her heartbreakingly handsom guitarist Jimmy Nashville. But then Jimmy plunges to his death from the window of his ninth-floor apartment.
“Maxx’s debut has a real feel for the bar-music scene and a gutsy, believable sleuth.” – Kirkus Review (5/15/08)
