It’s a well-known fact that some members of the cancer-survivor support group Hannah Ives works with take marijuana. Recreational use of the drug may be illegal, but a few, like Maryland State Senator Claire Thompson, are prescribed it on medical grounds. Now Claire has co-sponsored a Cannabis Legalization Bill—and wants Hannah to be part of a fact-finding task force that testifies before the Maryland State Senate.
Before long, Hannah is in Denver, Colorado, the Mile High City, staying at a B&B with a group of pot pilgrims and medical refugees—some of whom, like her, are on a mission for information. But when one of the group is found dead, and a closer inspection of the body reveals they may not be who they seem, Hannah is plunged into a dangerous cocktail of drugs and death.
From the Agatha and Anthony Award-winning author, this is an involving mystery starring a “heroine who must not be missed” (Sujata Massey, author of The Salaryman’s Wife).
“Witty, well-constructed…Talley takes the reader on a timely and illuminating trip into the often befuddling world of marijuana legislation.”—Publishers Weekly
“Hannah Ives tackles life’s up and downs with humor, intelligence, and courage.”—Deborah Crombie, Macavity Award-winning author
“In this American version of a manor-house mystery, Hannah has to figure out who among the guests—a young academic couple, a naval cadet, senior citizens on their way to a wedding—is hiding what…[an] amusingly colorful setting.”—Kirkus Reviews

As the Hannah Ives series approaches its twentieth anniversary, it's showing no signs of slowing down. Hannah, a breast-cancer survivor and amateur sleuth, takes a job researching the effects of marijuana usage for a Maryland state senator. Her research takes her to Denver?not a bad perc?but when she arrives in Colorado and almost immediately plunges into a murder investigation, she kind of wishes she'd just stayed home. A woman who's seen darkness in her own life but who hasn't let it change who she is, Hannah is a sympathetic and likable protagonist, the kind of person we might like spending time with if she weren't always risking her life to solve a mystery. That said, the mystery she solves here is a very entertaining one?very personal to Hannah, too?and its solution is both surprising and memorable.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
