ASTROLOGY AND MURDER!
"A gripping murder mystery that cleverly incorporates astrology into the investigation. Set in the vibrant streets of San Francisco, the story follows Madeline and Hunter as they use astrological charts to track down a killer. Even if you're not familiar with astrology, Heller makes it accessible and adds a unique twist to the genre. A fresh engaging crime thriller."

WHAT A UNIQUE CONCEPT
"I've never read a book quite like this before. It uses astrology to solve a murder in a very unique way. It took me a little time to understand the details since I'm not as versed in star charts and the like as some, but it doesn't hinder the story. Madeline and Hunter are great characters with interesting backgrounds. They story moves along at a great pace with a lot of twists and turns to keep you guessing."

THIS IS AN UNUSUAL AND INTRIGUING MYSTERY
"This is not the run of the mill thriller. All characters are unique, and the premise of using astrology to find the murderer goes way beyond the real-life Zodiac killer."
