That's the Spirit!

Book excerpt: If you are looking for a spooky puzzle or an entertaining whodunit, you will find it in this cockeyed mystery spoof! A Hollywood psychic is murdered in the Laurel Canyon lodge that once belonged to a famous illusionist, and Claire Voyant - a dingy psychic - shows up to investigate. She solicits help from Bella Donna, her nasty ventriloquist dummy Anne Boleyn (who has a terrible fear of axes), and the amazing Ernst Slater with x ray eyes. Add some bewildered police, a fish out of water niece, a ham actor, a crazed hermit, a walking lamp shade and other fun characters and you have a lampoon that is hysterically funny. -- Publisher's description.
