5.0 out of 5 stars Fun.enjoyable and uplifting, 25 Feb 1998
By A Customer
Some people cannot help attracting trouble. However, gag supplier Kate Jaspar goes one step beyond and seems to always find a murder that has just been committed. Kate cannot walk away from homicide until she has solved the case even though she constantly places herself in danger. Her long suffering live-in lover, Wayne Caruso, does not try to stop her anymore. Instead, he assists her on her i nvestigations so he can be near to protect her from harm.

When Wayne and Kate attend a science fiction-mystery authors' book signing, there is one protester who claims that science fiction is demonic poisoning. However, things change for the worse when one of the writers puts a bracelet on her wrist and abruptly dies. The bracelet contained a syringe filled with a poison that was injected when the writer snapped it on her wrist. Kate and Wayne try to determine who left the poisoned bracelet on the table. They soon learn that many of the attendees had the opportunity and the motive.

Anyone in the doldrums should try DEATH HITS THE FAN for a fast uplifting rush. It is difficult to remain sad when one is surrounded by quirky characters who make sense in a crazy kind of way. The secondary sub-plots are humorous, making it impossible not to smile even as the reader tries to solve an interesting mystery. Jacqueline Girdner demonstrates that her talent is at the Mensa level.
