"Potential Suspects!"

Anne Johnson is divorced, has plenty of money, lives in a luxurious apartment, loves to be alone, and desires nothing more than an occasional luxurious luncheon and some very good sex!

Sometimes she ponders doing something useful for society but is hardly driven by that meandering thought. Instead what begins to disturb her mightily is a whispering voice announcing her very own death in thirty days!

Fearing she is losing her mind, she decides to monitor those around her, which includes her ex-husband who's a bit of a disturbed guy to start with, a Russian neighbor whose handsome beauty arouses her raging hormones, and a cleaning lady. It is her ex-husband and the cleaning lady who will help her solve the mystery!

This novel is funny in that it really focuses more on Anne's thoughts about herself and those in her world with all their foibles and flaws. Refusing to do what everyone else wants her to do, Anne spends her time helping others sort out their lives and finally decides to plan a party on the very day she is supposed to die!

Here is where the mystery picks up and flies at a page- turning, adrenalin-pumping pace!

Not much of a mystery, it's a good romp through the world of Washington's rich culture and those humans who, after all is said and done, are just like every reader who will roar at Anne Johnson and root every step of the way for her to solve her very own mystery!

Summary

Free-spirited and freshly divorced, fifty-year-old Anne Johnson is living the good life. With plenty of money to keep her comfortable, she spends her nights in her luxurious, elegant apartment in Washington, D.C., cuddled up beside the fireplace with a good book in one hand and a perfect martini in the other.

Then, from nowhere, Anne hears a voice in her head, warning that there will be a murder in her building in thirty days—and that only she can stop it. Without a clue about what to do, she confides in Mary, the building's large-and-in-charge cleaning woman—and together, they plan a party to ferret out the would-be killer before time runs out.

As they make preparations, Anne makes a list of potential suspects, which unfortunately includes the gorgeous Russian neighbor she can't stop lusting after. But as much fun as Anne and Mary are having, the clock keeps ticking—and if they don't act quickly, the swanky soiree might end up a goodbye party—for them...
