Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In Jupiter's Daughter: A Katy Klein Mystery, second in the series, Karen Irving (Pluto Rising) subjects her heroine not only to the frosty Ottawa winter, but also to a death at a holiday party. Katy, professional astrologer and amateur sleuth, wants to help the dead woman's traumatized daughter, and ends up uncovering the dangerous misdeeds of a televangelist and a fundamentalist church while the bodies pile up.

Book Description
Gripping, engaging and clever, Jupiter's Daughter features Katy Klein, an opinionated 45-year-old single mom with a quick eye and acerbic wit. She's a social worker turned professional astrologer who becomes involved in the suspicious death of Marion Stanley. In her attempt to help Marion's 13-year-old runaway daughter Rose, Katy is drawn into a sinister web of deceit and abuse involving a fundamentalist church.

A Star is Born
April 22 2003
Ms. Irving's books are a sweet treat. I can't recall how I happened upon them, but I am glad I did. Her stories are expertly cast and have intelligent writing and sophisticated stories. Her writing is like smooth butter or fine silk. They are set in Canada, but don't let that bother you if you don't like settings outside the US. The protagonist is a psychologist/astrologer but if metaphysical things bother you, don't worry. It doesn't overtake the story, but for those of us who love it, it's a nice sprinkle of information. This writer certainly knows her astrology. The sleuth is also Jewish, which adds a nice dimension. Everything is PERFECTLY balanced and extremely interesting. Her writing is up there with Stephen White and Jonathan Kellerman, maybe even better. Her writing is fresh and smart, deserving of the attention they get. Start from the beginning just to enjoy the three that are out so far---or just dive in. I tell you, if you love mysteries, there is nothing missing from this series. Nothing. It's sophisticated, it's engaging, it's witty, it's profound, it's complex, it's simple, it's serious ... you get my point. It has all the elements of life, life with all of its wonderful mysteries.
