Max Starr, Complete Series


Book Description

A ghost, a psychic, and one very hunky detective, all tied up with a bit of murder and mayhem... Thirty-something, down-on-her-luck accountant Max Starr has the unfortunate gift of being psychic, a newly-discovered wrinkle in her already messed-up life. Her husband, Cameron, is dead, killed in a botched 7-11 robbery two years ago. In her grief, Max has cut herself off from friends, moved out of her San Francisco home in favor of a studio apartment, and dumped her flourishing career as a CPA to do temp work. Now Max has developed an annoying penchant for attracting the spirits of murdered women. Okay, they possess her. And to exorcize them, Max must unmask their killers. But how?! By stepping into the void their deaths created, taking their jobs, befriending the loved ones they left behind. Max goes wherever she has to go and does whatever she has to do, with a lot of help from the ghost of her late husband Cameron and hunky and very enticing Detective Witt Long. The Max Starr boxed set includes the complete series. DEAD TO THE MAX Max steps into the shoes of a murdered accountant and starts to learn that even supposedly boring accountants can have secret lives and secret desires. Max just has to hope the secrets she uncovers don’t get her killed, too. EVIL TO THE MAX Max Starr has another vision of murder, and once again she goes on the hunt for the killer herself, dragging a reluctant Witt Long with her. As she ventures into the dead woman’s life, the deeper she gets, the more she sees that everyone has something to hide. As she stirs up a hornet’s nest, Max might become the next victim. When it comes to Witt and her sexy visions about him, she suspects resistance is futile. DESPERATE TO THE MAX When phone sex operator Bethany is brutally murdered, Max is plunged into her kinky after-midnight world. Barely surviving this crash course in Phone Sex 101, Max turns to detective Witt Long for help in catching the murderer. Needing Witt for his detecting skills is one thing, but meeting his mother is scarier than facing down a cold-blooded killer. POWER TO THE MAX Lance La Russa had exotic tastes and the money to pay them. Angela Rocket, the beautiful call girl willing to fulfill his fantasies, was the last person to see him alive. To solve the crime, Max Starr must enter the world of sex for hire, to the chagrin of her ghostly late husband Cameron and boyfriend Witt Long. But the scariest thing of all? Witt’s mom Ladybird wants to help do the detecting! VENGEANCE TO THE MAX Her husband Cameron has been dead for two years, but Max Starr has never let him go. Now comes her greatest challenge. Was Cameron murdered because he stumbled onto a robbery at the wrong time in the wrong place? Or was something far more sinister going on? With Detective Witt Long’s helping hand, Max must make the terrifying trip into her worst nightmare. Can Max bury her past and learn to love again? Or will the quest for vengeance take over her soul?
