It began on New Year's Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world's population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magic rose up in its place. Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max.

Victor Got His Groove

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling romance author Jude Deveraux makes her debut in the world of mystery with a story of old secrets, deadly grudges, and an improbable group of friends who are determined to uncover the truth regardless of the consequences.
Sara Medlar is a household name in romance, with millions of books sold. But lately, retirement has been boring her, and she's found herself back in her hometown of Lachlan, Florida, remodeling the grand, old mansion she'd admired as a child. It's much too big for her alone, but she'd die before letting anyone in town know that.
Then Sara's niece Kate is offered a job in Lachlan - a start in what could be a very successful career in real estate. She accepts immediately, but with so little saved up, she'll have to approach her estranged yet incredibly famous aunt for a place to stay while she gets herself settled.
But when she arrives at Sara's home, she finds she's not the only long-term houseguest. Jackson Wyatt already has his own room, and though it's impossible to deny his good looks and charm - he's clearly got her aunt wrapped around his finger - she's also never met anyone who irritates her quite like Jack does.
However, when two skeletons are accidentally uncovered in the quiet town, this unlikely trio is suddenly thrust together by a common goal: to solve a mystery everyone else seems eager to keep under wraps.
United by a sense of justice and the desire to right old wrongs, Sara, Kate, and Jack will have to dig into Lachlan's murky past to unravel the small town's dark secrets and work to bring the awful truth to light.

Disappointed but still worth a listen!
I’ve read every single book of Jude Deveraux’ over the years. I’ve grown up with them from 15 to now 45. But this one had ZERO romance. There were GREAT characters and intrigue. Wonderful banter and enjoyment! But I would have loved another 2 chapters to tie up the end. The murder gets solved, but my heart is not fulfilled.

left wanting answers
I absolutely loved this book and hated the end. If there is going to be a sequel which answers all of the questions I have then I will wait patiently. I want to know about the mother and small child that escaped from the house while the tree was being planted. Was that Kate and her mom? I want to know Kate's parent's story. I want to know if there were other murders in that neighborhood and are there more bodies buried? It was referenced. How did they hang Ben?
