1st in the Kate Jasper cozy mystery series
from the Jaqueline Girdner website:
"Kate Jasper is Marin County's own, organically grown, amateur sleuth. She lives in Marin County, California. Kate eats a lot of vegetables and practices tai chi. She collects old pinball machines. And she owns her own business, a gag gift business called JEST GIFTS."

"In Kate Jasper's offbeat, totally California lifestyle, there's no such thing as "routine" -- a routine visit to her chiropractor, for example, leads to cold-blooded murder when a dead body turns up on the examining table. There are no known motives for the death of Scott Younger -- only a handful of possible, and very unlikely, killers seated in the doctor's waiting room.

But Kate suspects that old-fashioned vengeance is behind this thoroughly modern murder. Now Marin County's one and only vegetarian-divorcée-detective finds herself in the midst of a positively bone-chilling crime..."
