No, not the Parent Teachers Association, but The Paranormal Temp Agency. The police officer with that response when she calls 911 is a member of the PTA Board. Witch For Hire begins when Tawny, our heroine, walks in her landlady house to complain about the lack of hot water in her shower and discovers that she had been murdered. The reader wants to know what transpired between the characters in earlier books to bring them to where they are in the current story. That’s a nice touch because even though these books can be read as standalone stories and enjoyed, they become so much more enjoyable when you know what transpired in the earlier books in the series. Psychic For Hire begins with a quick recap of what took place in Witch For Hire, Book 1 in the Paranormal Temp Agency series. Another thing I love about Molly is how she names some animal characters after her own real life furry companions. With this series, The Paranormal Temp Agency series, she brings in all the main character from her Pet Whisperer Series. One of Molly Fitz’s appeal as an author is how she brings the characters she created for a previous series into her new series, along with the new characters she has created for the series. Psychic For Hire, like all the books in all of Molly Fitz’s series, isn’t a “page turner,” it’s a “page burner.” It isn’t the story ideas that hook the reader and keep them turning the pages until they read the very last word on the very last page, so much as the characters that Molly populates her stories with.

Psychic For Hire was a very entertaining read, but that will not surprise to anyone familiar with the Dame of the fuzzy mystery genre.
