Julia Bonatti, an Astrologer, goes back to work for a week with her old Boss, David. He is a lawyer. She reports to work for Secretarial duty and falls back into her old routine. Until... the whole floor hears a scream. Of course no-one expected to find the other Co-Partner stabbed. For several weeks Julia had thought of calling David because he had disturbing signs in his chart. This is about the time he and two more people got death threats. This is Book three in the Zodiac Mystery Series for Connie Di Marco. I had no problem following along and I don't think any other Reader will...
It's an unusual premise to have a "whodunit" built around Astrology. But I like it. There are many planets and adverse aspects in a Chart with a Client. Julia had been making a living at it, although, not a great one. There is a romantic interest in this mystery which is Julia's first, after the death of her fiancee ,who was murdered. The Killer has never been caught. That has a mystery attached to it but a photograph has surfaced. Will that help identify the car or the person driving?
The characters are integrated with a diverse crew which always adds to a Book. How else are we to start guessing who did it? This was a good read for a rainy night and I enjoyed it.

the partners is found dead. Julia discovers that a series of death
threats have been sent to several employees of the firm, and she uses
her astrological expertise to discover possible motives. But before she

again. Will Julia unmask the culprit before he, or she, takes another
life?
