Death, War, Famine and Plague have died. Now their wives are taking over. Too bad they don't have a clue how to do their new jobs. Look out, world, here come the Four Redheads of the Apocalypse!
Those freakin’ Redheads are at it again! They’re gonna be the death of me—oh, how I wish! As if Earth wasn’t already going to Hell, those girly-girls have decided to hurry along the Apocalypse. Well, excuuuse me if things aren’t happening fast enough to please those high-maintenance broads! At times like these, I really miss their husbands.
Maybe it's a curse left by the ancient Indians who called it their home, or maybe it's just talk to scare off the gold-hunters looking for treasure left behind by the Spanish/Confederates/Outlaws/D.B. Cooper. No one seems to even notice that Tranquility is different. Not Jake Coltrane, the town's ridiculously lucky policeman, not Rachel Thorne, a vet who can talk to animals, and not Average Jones, the waitress/cellist who knows what everyone feels, and how to fix it. Only David Nye, the town's new doctor seems to notice.
But even Tranquility has its problems. Something out there is mutilating livestock. The only clue is bloody big bird tracks around the carcasses. Jake thinks it's just a prank, but Rachel isn't so sure. And when the glowing red eyes and strange noises at night start, she knows that it's only a matter of time before the "Big Bird" starts working its way up to people.
Getting Married Can Be Murder All Jake Coletrane wants is to marry his girlfriend, Rachel Thorne. But there are a few obstacles standing between him and happily ever after. Namely a UFO True Believer s convention that has barred from his hotel, a psychic from a ghost hunting reality show who is convinced that the ghost of Jake s last wife is out to wreck the wedding, the seven Renassance wedding planners who keep tacking on fees and Rachel s increasing Bridezilla tendencies. But when the hotel manager drops dead and signs point to murder, Jake knows that it will take more than his famous luck to solve the case and get them to the altar on time It s going to take good, solid detective work. Fortunately, Jake is the police officer for Tranquility, Arkansas. And he has help Rachel and her Dr. Doolittle-like ability to talk to animals, Average Jones and her empathy and Dr. Dave s medical expertise. Jake will need all the help he can get. Because in a haunted hotel, marriage is murder and someone wants to take till death do you part literally.
