Unpredictable Spirits
(2021)(A book in the Lucas Rathbone Mystery series)
A Novella by Saffron Amatti
Lucas didn’t believe in horoscopes, until they started coming true.
Actually, the reluctant psychic didn’t even know about horoscopes until his more up-to-date girlfriend read theirs – and he really only listened in case this new fad would help him sell more copies of his own newspaper.
But that doesn’t mean he has to believe them. How on earth could this Madame Foxglove possibly know new opportunities are on his horizon, trouble will come in the form of new acquaintances, and he should avoid the colour green?
Nonsense.
Then odd coincidences force Lucas to question his assumptions, and suddenly avoiding green doesn’t seem like such a bad idea after all…
***
In this psychic mystery short story, join Lucas and Clara as they discover why these things are happening - and more importantly, why they shouldn’t try to stop them.

Praise for Saffron Amatti
"If you like Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries with a dash of paranormal activities on the side, then you'll love this novella!"
"If you like a cosy mystery, if you like humor, if you like good writing and endearing characters, Lucas Rathbone Mysteries are for you."
"These mysteries aren't just cozies, they are studies in atmosphere and characterization. With a deft hand and an easy wit, Saffron Amatti never stops surprising the reader. Ghosts are employed in a fresh and clever way that adds to the overall sense that these stories are fresh, new, and enchanting. The only criticism I have is that I want to read more!"
“I could imagine it playing out like a prime-time serial TV show and I settled in for a little murder, a little humour, and the bad guy getting caught. Nailed it!”
“This is what mysteries should be.”
