Jinxed (A Jinx Fogarty Mystery)

Back on the comeback trail, actress Meg Barnes, beloved for her role as amateur sleuth Jinx Fogarty in a renowned detective show, assumes sheâ€™ll star as Jinx in the revamped TV series, only to discover that a young ingÃ©nue has been cast instead.

Meg ignores the warnings from Jack, her FBI-agent boyfriend, not to do her â€œJinx thing.â€ But when Jinxâ€™s iconic top hat goes missing and someone from her past is murdered, itâ€™s clear Megâ€™s lifeâ€”and moreâ€”is in jeopardy.

Excerpt:

â€œIâ€™ll ask you again,â€ he says, his voice low. â€œYour husbandâ€™s kidnapping was a hoax. You helped him disappear, right? Where is he?â€

The FBI agent, his blinding white shirt open at the neck, leans in so close I can smell the warm raisin scent of his body. The question echoes in my mind with a dizzying sense of dÃ©jÃ vu. Why canâ€™t I remember anything?

He glances at the pages in his hand, then back to me, a sly gleam in his eye. â€œCâ€™mon, you should know this, Meg.â€

Then it comes to me and I blurt, â€œNo! â€œYouâ€™ve got it all wrong. I had nothing to do with his disappearance. You have to believe me!â€ I really do have nothing to hide, but the truth sounds strained even to my ears, especially with a pair of caramel-brown eyes looking intently into mine.

â€œI know you were in on it, sweetheart, but thatâ€™s okay.â€ His voice is husky as he pulls me close and whispers, â€œBecause itâ€™s you Iâ€™m after, not him.â€

I give him a quick punch in the shoulder and burst into laughter. â€œIâ€™m reporting you to the Bureau, buster. Youâ€™re not getting away with this!â€

Jack drops the script in my lap and grins. â€œTry me.â€

â€œLater.â€ I swing my legs up on the couch and bury my toes under his knees, wriggling them against the soft sun-bleached denim of his blue jeans. â€œCome on, youâ€™re supposed to run lines with me, not make them up.â€ I toss the script back in his lap.
