Your Number's Up

“Cozy mystery Your Number’s Up is a winner. – Leah Casner, The River Reporter

Would anyone believe you if you predicted someone’s death?

My mother may have lost her marbles years ago, but when she said someone was going to die, I believed her. The problem was trying to convince everyone else.

Hi, my name is Marie, and my mom, Rose, is the oldest resident at Overlook Terrace, an assisted living facility in Pennsylvania. Mom is still feisty, but at age 102 she suffers from dementia, and her conversational repertoire is limited. Without warning, she might break into song, swear like a sailor, or say something else inappropriate. Luckily, the staff thinks she’s a hoot.

Mom also has uncanny senses. Some might call it Extra Sensory Perception or ESP. So, while she might not be the most reliable source of information, when she predicts someone’s death, my sister, Gina, and I believe her. Turns out, she was right. And when more mysterious things start to happen, and Mom seems to be a target, we start to worry she might be in danger.

It’s time to discover who has it in for Mom and whether the government is involved. You in?
