Publisher's summary
Paisley Ray books are not your typical mysteries. A young woman's plan for an art history degree turns into an outrageous series of misadventures in this laugh-out-loud romp about a girl who enrolls in a southern college during the height of the crazy era that was the 1980s. All of the books in this collection cross genres of chick lit, mystery, romance, humor, and action with the possibility of a corpse or two. A keep-you-awake well past your bedtime beach series.
It's the end of the 80s, and Rachael O'Brien's last year of college, but before classes begin, her grandmother's stately home is burgled, and a rare book of prophecies is defaced with a menacing message threatening the family.
Soon skeletons from the past are tumbling out of the closet implicating Rachael in a string of murders. When her psychic mother vanishes and a strange old key is delivered without a return address she is left to wonder if there's a link.
With forces from the past threatening, can Rachael rely on unlikely liaisons to escape an inherited vendetta in Paisley Ray's Praise the Lard?

Story
Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make. She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie Hall.

"You can be beautiful, even more beautiful than before." This is the seductive promise of Dr. Nzinga’s clinic, where anyone can get their lips thinned, their skin bleached, and their nose narrowed. A complete demelanization will liberate you from the confines of being born in a Black body - if you can afford it. In this near-future Southern city plagued by fenced-in ghettos and police violence, more and more residents are turning to this experimental medical procedure. Like any father, our narrator just wants the best for his son, Nigel, a biracial boy.

Reeve LeClaire is a college student, dammit, not Daryl Wayne Flint's victim. Not anymore-not when Reeve is finally recovering a life of her own after four years of captivity. Flint is safely locked up in Olshaker Psychiatric Hospital, where he belongs. He is walking the grounds of the forensic unit, performing his strange but apparently harmless rituals. It seems that he is still suffering the effects of the head injury he suffered in the car crash that freed Reeve seven years ago. Post-concussive syndrome, they call it.

Great Series!
Any additional comments?
This is a great book; this is the seventh book in the Rachael O’Brien Chronicles series written by Paisley Ray and narrated by Suzanne Cerreta. It's the end of the 80s, and Rachael O'Brien's last year of college, but before classes begin, her grandmother's stately home is burgled, and a rare book of prophecies is defaced with a menacing message threatening the family. Soon skeletons from the past are tumbling out of the closet implicating Rachael in a string of murders. When her psychic mother vanishes and a strange old key is delivered without a return address she is left to wonder if there's a link.
This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises.
The narrator Suzanne Cerreta did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.
If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

first book of hers
I shouldn't have started a series on the 7th book. I felt the main character was very paranoid and vain glorious to the point of annoyance.
