Death in a Bad Habit

In this, her fourth outing, Rhiannon finds an enigmatic puzzle and many challenges on all sides, and her resilient nature is put to the test once again. We find Rhi deep in dilemma, and she will have to call on all her retro, rockin', resourceful, rad spirit to find her way to the solution. She and her best friend Didi Spencer are accused of burglary. Her daughter Tabby has painted all the windows in the house in trompe l'oeil murals which she calls "altered states of reality." A whole convent full of nuns considers Rhi a personal enemy. There are a few terminally annoying criminals trying to kill her. Hairy Mary and Mr. Pavalik are as endearingly goofy as ever. Sgt. LeCaptain seems more than ever determined to invent new reasons for giving Rhi tickets, and the old crones of the village have a lot to say about her retro Dusty Springfield hairdo, among other things. And then there is the little problem of a missing set of beautiful twenty year old identical twins who may be mixed up in something a lot more serious than fashion dilemmas. One has run away from the convent, one has gone missing from rehab, and both of them are running around with the wrong boy. Talk about bad habits Rhi's enemies play her false, lie to her, deceive and frighten her, threaten her, and attempt to kill her. She has the worst hairdresser in cheese head land, has trouble sticking to a diet, and a boyfriend who finds it difficult to articulate his feelings. And if he did manage to communicate his undying admiration, would his eighty year old mother let him go out on a date? Rhi is also being chased by a few inappropriate men. Is there any other kind for Rhiannon? Her children are in a state of rebellion, her home in need of constant repair, and her finances, as well as her wardrobe, are in disarray. Will she rise to the occasion? Of course she will. She's not your average soccer mom Rock on, Rhi One fan writes, "Kathy, thank you for your great novels. I think this
