The Madness of Mercury (A Zodiac Mystery Book 1) Oct 8, 2020

by Connie di Marco

( 75 )

$4.99

“Di Marco’s series starter features a clever plot and a smart and feisty heroine with feet firmly planted on the ground while she searches the stars.”
—Library Journal

San Francisco astrologer Julia Bonatti’s life is turned upside down when she becomes the target of the city’s newest cult leader, Reverend Roy of the Prophet’s Tabernacle. Driven out of her apartment in the midst of a disastrous Mercury retrograde period, she takes shelter with a client who’s caring for two elderly aunts. One aunt appears stricken with dementia and the other has fallen under the spell of the Reverend Roy. To add to the confusion, a young man claiming to be a long-lost nephew arrives. The longer he stays, the more dangerous things become. Is the young man truly a member of the family? Can astrology confirm that? Julia’s not sure, but one thing she does know is that Mercury wasn’t merely the messenger of the gods—he was a trickster and a liar as well.

Serpent’s Doom (A Zodiac Mystery Book 4) Apr 26, 2022

by Connie di Marco

( 13 )

$5.99

As San Francisco’s Chinatown prepares for the Lunar New Year festivities in the fogbound month of February, astrologer Julia Bonatti finds herself with three new clients, all in desperate straits who don’t seem to heed her advice. Tracy is the victim of a brutal husband with nowhere to run and Jeanette is worried sick about her son, whom she suspects has fallen in with a bad lot.
But most frightening of all to Julia is Frankie Chang’s dilemma. Frankie’s only eleven years old and he’s terrified. His mother is missing and no one will help him. Julia’s heart goes out to him but her hands are tied. Frankie won’t let her talk to the police and neither will his family.
Julia eventually discovers that the three worlds of her clients intertwine. Those lives inevitably collide exposing a dangerous smuggling cabal. Julia knows too much and becomes a victim of both a ruthless environmental group and criminals who will stop at nothing, including murder.

“Connie di Marco’s twin loves of Astrology and the detective fiction genre are on full display in her latest installment of the Zodiac Mysteries: Serpent’s Doom. It makes perfect sense to fuse these two disciplines in which intelligence, intuition, and interpretation play such a key role. It’s also a delight to see Astrology driving the plot forward rather than employed as a mere gimmick. This adds dimension and suspense to how the mystery plays out and di Marco’s wonderfully cinematic prose keeps you turning the pages in increasing anticipation.”
—Christopher Renstrom, astrologer for the San Francisco Chronicle, SF Gate and Astrology Hub, author of The Cosmic Calendar and creator of rulingplanets.com

Enter a Wizard, Stage Left (A Zodiac Mystery) Oct 26, 2021

by Connie di Marco

( 19 )

$2.99

Julia Bonatti wasn't always a crime-solving San Francisco astrologer. She was a young woman, engaged to the love of her life, preparing for a teaching career when tragedy struck. Her fiancé was killed in a hit and run accident. As Julia struggles with her loss and attempts to find meaning in her life again, she takes refuge with her grandmother Gloria. But there's little time for grief or rest because Gloria, a retired seamstress, needs Julia's help. Gloria's been hired to create costumes for a production of Agatha Christie's Appointment with Death at the newly opened Theatre Mars in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood.
Theatre Mars is a stunning jewel, the cast is supremely talented and the script is brilliant. What could go wrong? Julia gets the first hint of trouble when her new friend, the owner of The Mystic Eye bookshop, warns that all might not go well. Opening night will take place during the dark of the moon, the last three days before the new moon, a time that bodes disaster for any new project. The dire prediction comes true when the lead actress is murdered before the final curtain, echoing the play itself. Julia discovers a vital clue to the murder, but a clue that puts Gloria's life in grave danger. Can Julia rescue her grandmother before it's too late? And will a black cat play a leading role?

Enter a Wizard, Stage Left, or the play-within-the-play, based upon Agatha Christie's famed work, Appointment with Death, could not be better plotted than if the renowned mystery author had written it herself. Unless, of course, Connie di Marco has channeled Christie as she penned a prequel for her Zodiac Mysteries with this exciting new novella. Delicately crafted, with just enough suspense to keep readers joyously turning pages, di Marco has delivered a delightful peek behind the scenes of her successful series. Readers will feel like they've reunited with old friends and look forward to more.
-- Nancy Cole Silverman, author of the Carol Childs Mysteries and the Misti Dawn Mysteries

"A clever plot, with wit and charm! With Connie di Marco's new prequel, Enter a Wizard, Stage Left, I see a bright future for fans of her stellar Zodiac Mysteries!"
―Molly Macrae, National Bestselling and Award-Winning Author of the Highland Bookshop Mysteries and The Haunted Yarn Shop Mysteries
