Denver, Colorado, has everything - the Rockies, the Broncos, more than three hundred days of sunshine every year, and something the Chamber of Commerce doesn't talk about: boredom. Jane Smith has discovered that on her own . . . or maybe it's simply her job as an accountant that has her down. Jane doesn't want to move, so she decides to change jobs: as long as she can maintain her lingerie habit, she knows everything will be fine. Well, there's the problem with her ex-boyfriend, and the questions her mother asks, but she's off on a new career path. Jane's going to work for a newspaper! Maybe it isn't the Denver Post or the Rocky Mountain News, but the Daily Orion (published weekly) is a newspaper. And Jane isn't Erma Bombeck or Russell Baker: She's Stella the Stargazer, offering advice to the lovelorn, spiced with a bit of astrology. At first, she has to make up the letters to respond to, but they start coming soon enough. Unfortunately, the writer of one of the first letters Stella receives is looking for a love to die for . . . and finds one. More unfortunately, the killer is now gazing at Stella. . . .

Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. Book 1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Very slight spine slant else Near fine in near fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Author's first Novel. "From time to time Jane Smith has had funny visions, but that's not why she's chucked her job as an accountant and persuaded the editor of the Denver Daily Orion (a weekly) to take her on as ``stars and garters'' columnist Stella the Stargazer. It's just that Jane--sorry, Stella--craves novelty and excitement, and in no time at all, she has her fill. Only a few days after she advises her very first correspondent, ``Looking for Lochinvar, '' to launch a decisive pursuit of her ``love to die for, '' Stella discovers the body of lingerie-maker Grace Peary in her shop, Sweet Nothings, and soon realizes that she was looking for Lochinvar, and presumably found him. Stella feels guiltily certain that she's to blame for Grace's murder--a feeling Det. Lee Stokowski seconds in a legal sense when Grace's body disappears before anybody but Stella has seen it (was it just one of those visions? ), then reappears on the shore of Coal Creek, which Stella can describe without ever having seen. (Another vision, huh? Well, just wait till Stokowski finds Stella on the scene of a second murder. ) Though Stella's convinced she can identify Lochinvar, can she gather enough evidence against him to keep Stokowski from pulling her in? Jorgensen endows her heroine with a combination of savvy and foolishness that makes her just right for this promising debut."--Kirkus Review.
