About this title

About the Author

Dixie Cash is Pam Cumbie and her sister, Jeffery McClanahan. They grew up in rural West Texas among "real life fictional characters" and 100 percent real cowboys and cowgirls. Some were relatives and some weren't. Pam has always had a zany sense of humor and Jeffery has always had a dry wit. Surrounded by country western music, when they can stop laughing long enough, they work together creating hilarity on paper. Both live in Texas—Pam in the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex and Jeffery in a small town near Fort Worth.

From the Back Cover

Full-time hairdressers and part-time private detectives, Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin—the Domestic Equalizers—have dealt with cheating spouses, shady business deals, Elvis-obsessed shoe thieves, even murder. But ghosts? That's a whole new rodeo!

Justin Sadler's just coming to terms with the absence of his dear departed Rachel—but now he's not so sure she's departed! Every time he goes home he knows someone's been there—and if it's not Rachel trying to communicate from beyond, it's someone else who's trying to drive him stark raving bonkers. So the Equalizers are on the case, with the help of an El Paso psychic who's so dead-on, it's scary. It's enough to make any good ol' gal's big hair stand on end!

The investigation leads them toward one of their tiny West Texas town's more unsavory characters—and, all things considered, Debbie Sue would much rather be cuddling in the arms of her hubby, the sexiest cop in the whole nation of Texas. But the Equalizers will never say die . . . even when dealing with the restless dead.

Reviews

When hunky firefighter Justin Sadler's late wife, Rachel, appears to be trying to communicate from beyond the grave with refrigerator magnets in the pseudonymous Cash's (Curing the Blues with a New Pair of Shoes) wacky sixth novel, Justin asks the Domestic Equalizers, Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin, of Salt Lick, Tex., to determine whether his house is really haunted. Debbie Sue and Ed, who also own the Styling Station beauty salon, accept the challenge, while a young teacher moonlighting as a mentalist, Sophia Paredes, who's the granddaughter of a recently deceased El Paso psychic, also agrees to help Justin. Adding some skullduggery to the ghostly goings-on is Justin's greedy brother-in-law, who covets the mineral rights of Justin's ranch. Cash (Texas sisters Pamela Cumbie and Jeffery McClanahan) neatly mixes woo-woo weirdness and romance with the gosh-darn Texas humor fans expect from this light crime series. (June)

In the latest crazy, Texas-based Domestic Equalizers adventure, someone has been messing with Justin’s head, and though his heart tells him it’s the ghost of his beloved wife, Rachel, his brain tells him it can’t possibly be—or can it? Her favorite blanket is found mysteriously draped across the sofa as if Rachel had just taken a nap, her rings turn up on the kitchen table, and her signature “company’s coming” yellow roses magically appear in a crystal vase. As if these signs weren’t unsettling enough, magnetic letters affixed to the refrigerator start spelling out meaningful messages. Although not the kind of case Cash’s Domestic Equalizers usually encounter, Edwina and Debbie Sue are sufficiently perplexed by Justin’s predicament to accept the challenge. But first they call in some extra help in the extrasensory department, the granddaughter of a well-known psychic whose powers help lonely-guy Justin solve all his problems. Because Cash’s stylin’ sleuths pour on their trademark saucy innuendos and infectious glee, this installment delivers a rollicking good ride. --Carol Haggas
