When Regan Reilly returned to the West Coast, where she began her career as a PI, she never imagined that her unsuccessful appearance on a game show seven years earlier would throw her trip totally off course! REGAN REILLY is in Los Angeles with her husband, Jack, head of the NYPD Major Case Squad. After Jack finishes his meetings with the LAPD, the couple may head north to the wine country, or may head south to Baja. Their only plan is to see which way the wind blows. The first day back, Regan goes shopping at an upscale new mall in West Hollywood. To her surprise, she runs into Zelda, a woman shed become friendly with seven years before at a television studio in Burbank, when they were waiting to appear on the game show Puzzling Words. They havent seen each other since. Zelda and Regan didnt win much money, but Zelda made up for it! A year ago an elderly neighbor she barely knew left Zelda eight million dollars. She has been enjoying her newfound wealth but is aware of the need to give back. At a recent fundraiser, she bid on a weeks stay in an old Hollywood Hills estate and was the lucky winner. Shes currently in residence there and invites Regan to a party at the mansion. While Jack attends a business dinner, Regan goes to Zeldas by herself, unaware that she is being followed. Regan is more than surprised at the run-down condition of the house and grounds. People should be paid to stay here, she thinks. Zelda introduces Regan to a colorful cast of characters, including her old neighbors, friends from her yoga class, a filmmaker, Zeldas financial adviser, her bookkeeper, and her personal assistant. Its all good fun. As the guests are leaving, Zelda asks Regan to stay for a cup of tea. Theyve barely sat down to chat when Zelda falls ill. A worried Regan doesnt want to leave Zelda alone and decides to spend the night at the isolated, aging estate. Its not long before Zelda asks Regan to investigate people in her life, starting with her fathers new wife, Bobby Jo. The couple said I do in the back of a cab at a drive-through chapel in Las Vegas after only three months of togetherness. Has Zeldas windfall put her in danger? Regan is determined to find out, not knowing that shes a target herself!

Heads up: There‘s someone on Litsy under the name Jeff1000 using pictures of a male model called Stephen Niese. They also commented on one of my posts to text them to a gmail address, which of course made me wary, so that‘s why I looked further. (You can do a reverse image search).

I‘ve blocked the account and flagged it (you can do the same), but just beware.

UPDATE: posts are apparently still up

Butterfinger Thank you for sharing. 3y
BookishMarginalia @Butterfinger I considered not saying anything, but I felt a responsibility to keep others aware of people with dodgy intentions… 3y
