What do a physical therapist and a high-end jewel thief have in common? The same bullet. Two break-ins, a botched jewel heist, and a murder set the stage for a complex set of events that put both the thief and the physical therapist at the wrong end of a rifle. Third Time's the Charm is a fast-moving murder mystery full of twists and turns. A home invasion results in the murder of a childhood friend of Melinda Stark's son. The perky physical therapist immediately inserts herself into the investigation to help solve it, unknowingly becoming a pawn in a game she has no idea she's been drafted into. Melinda's newest patient, Dominic Gallo has been hired by a billionaire bad guy to steal two priceless Egyptian charms. He misses the handoff and hides the charms in his sister's gift shop while he figures out his next move. The charms are inadvertently sold by his sister's assistant. The cash receipt yields only an illegible name. With no other option, he begins breaking into homes of people whose names look similar to the one on the receipt. The third name on his list is Melinda Stark. While Melinda pursues the murder investigation of her son's friend, Dominic tries to find out if she has the charms. The twists and turns continue to pile up as Gallo and his wife end up becoming friends with Melinda and her homicide detective boyfriend. Dominic's client goes completely off the rails and threatens to end of the lives of both Melinda and Dominic if the charms are not returned to him immediately. The nail-biting ending comes when the murderer, the charms, and Melinda's relationship to Dominic's client are revealed, leading to an explosive showdown that no one sees coming.
Autorenporträt
"Focused Hocus Pocus" is Michale Mohr's second installment in her Heartfelt Murder Mystery Series, with the third installment, "Eight-Ball, Corner Pocket," coming out in late summer/early fall. In addition to writing, Michale has also performed on stage in regional theater, and ran her own dinner theater, "The Brown Bag Theatre," as well as some small television roles. Michale comes by her sleuthing skills from personal experience. In her early twenties, she suffered from debilitating panic attacks, so severe she ended up an agoraphobic unable to leave her home. That's when she began to write. She wrote characters that were brave and unafraid. During that time her son went missing, Still suffering with bouts of panic, she ventured out, and after a three-year search successfully brought him home. She's remained panic free since that time. Michale calls herself a dreamer. However, she believes you don't 'chase' your dreams, you 'attract' them to you. "Do the work, hold the vision, and open your arms to the possibilities," is her mantra. Michale lives in the suburbs just outside of Portland, Oregon. She enjoys time with her son and grandson, long walks in the beautiful Oregon landscapes, time with good friends, and every 48 Hour-type of mystery show on television. She still remembers the days she couldn't do those simple things. As she puts it, "Every minute of our lives is precious. Those who have had those moments interrupted know most deeply the joy and sorrow of a moment in a lifetime."
