About this listen

An autistic, reluctant sleuth who also happens to be a medium lives in a converted school bus with her massive talking dog and a dead drag queen. This is fine. From JHP Fiction comes a new dish of a comedic paranormal murder mystery with neurodivergence as a garnish. Helen Polly and her duo of spirited misfits navigate her nomadic life in a purple (or is it mauve?) skoolie while solving paranormal mysteries and evading a private investigator hired by her controlling mother.

    Pankey is tempted to call it quits. Close to freezing, Helen tries to talk sense to a gun-wielding Donna while the rest of the gang attempts to break through the shadow barrier. Steve and Pankey have words over the skoolie. Lucy "rekindles" her relationship with Steve.


    Will Harper cross over, and will her murder finally be solved entirely? Will Lucy's demise be in vain? Listen to the butcher shop showdown in this extended final chapter of "Season One: Memphis"!
