Jaxx Saxby is widely known as "The TV Presenter from Hell", so it''s a very a reluctant Georgie that finds herself back in Elkhart to take part in a cable TV special. Jaxx, unfortunately, has decided that the mammoth Johnny B. Goode RV Empire is a perfect fit for her show. There''s not much room for a film crew in a vintage trailer, especially when you add a bossy presenter like Jaxx. Actually, ''bossy'' is probably being kind. A few other words fit Jaxx too, like ''patronizing'', ''rude'' and ''arrogant''; as she keeps insisting that they''re in good hands and they should just keep their opinions to themselves and listen to her. Then, during a crystal ball reading recorded on camera, Georgie realizes that Jaxx is in grave danger -but where that threat is coming from is not easy to work out, since most people around Jaxx Saxby have good reason to dislike her! Georgie and her team get to work following the clues to unmask the stalker, racing against time as the film shoot draws to a close. The problems escalate, and it''s soon clear that Jaxx is not the only target. As tempers wear thin and Jaxx becomes ever more impossible, Georgie has to rise to the challenge to discover the truth-before Jaxx suffers an accident from which there''s no coming back!
When Georgie opens for business at the RV park in Santa Monica, one of her first customers is a teenage boy who seems more set on having her arrested than seeking her help. Okay, Georgie knows that it takes all kinds to make a world. After all, she''s had to put up with her grifter of a brother Jerry all her life, hasn''t she? And not too many people have a Great-Granny like Rosa. She tries to help him despite the attitude.She can sense that there''s more behind his football-jock muscles and acne scars than meets the eye and keeps digging-but as the plot thickens, she finds herself calling on her fledgling Crystal Ball Investigation Team for help. What they lack in experience, they make up for in ingenuity! As though the football jock and his gullible mother aren''t enough to cope with, her brother Jerry also seems hell-bent on causing trouble - as usual!It''s going to take a lot of hard work before Georgie can say a heartfelt ''Good riddance!" to all of these problems in her life.
Georgie B. Goode has bitten off way more than she can chew.Her father is disappointed in her. Her brother Jerry''s conniving tricks are driving her nuts. And as for that baloney about her being an eighth-generation gypsy and having ''the sight''-she must be totally crazy, giving in to Great-Grandma Rosa''s entreaties to take a crystal ball on the road with her! (When you have to look up ''how to read a crystal ball'' on the Internet, that has to say something about your abilities, right?)Traveling in the quirky Gypsy trailer that she loves so much, Georgie quickly finds herself torn between enjoying life with the retro trailer crowd and becoming an unwilling sleuth. That crystal ball seems to be trying to tell her something-but what? She is so not cut out for this!Unfortunately, her needy customers don''t seem to agree. Finally, Georgie concedes she has no choice but to figure out what those vague messages mean. She has a horrible feeling that she might be Kaylene''s last hope...And while she''s trying to solve the enigmatic clues revealed by Rosa''s treasured crystal ball, maybe-just maybe-she can find out what her great-grandma meant by her parting words: "Say hello to your Leo..."
Someone needs Georgie''s help.But who? And why?It''s frustrating just to sit and wait, no matter what her intuition tells her...Eventually, Georgie''s new client turns up, desperately seeking anyone who can help her clear her husband''s name.

Besides, the police are already involved.Nevertheless, Georgie doggedly sets about following the trail with the help of her crystal ball and her band of amateur sleuths. It''s an unlikely crew. As well as Georgie, the great-granddaughter of a gypsy fortune-teller, there''s Scott, a forest ranger from Australia; Layla, who dresses in 50s clothes and sells retro trailers; and Tammy, their glamorous secret ally who is in love with Georgie''s grifter of a brother, Jerry. But hey, there''s an advantage to being part of the newly-formed Crystal Ball Investigation team - they can fly under the radar. As Scott points out, people lie to the police all the time!They get busy putting together the clues and inch closer to finding out what happened behind closed doors.Then, things start to spiral out of control... and Georgie, still coming to terms with her heritage, fears that this is a mystery she may not be able to solve.
The Draper family is well-known in social circles in Boulder, Colorado. On the surface, their life seems perfect: they''re rich, well-connected, and content. It isn''t long, though, before Georgie discovers that all is not as it seems. Twelve-year-old Charlotte Draper begs Georgie for help to clear her older brother, Ricky, of the crime of which he''s been accused so he can be welcomed back into the family. After enlisting Tammy''s help to infiltrate the Draper household, Georgie soon has a list of suspects. The question is, why would anyone want to frame Ricky, the eldest son and heir to the Draper fortune? What possible motive could they have? Georgie finds herself going around in circles trying to get at the truth. Is Ricky''s too-handsome-to-be-true brother Jonathan at the bottom of all this-or is it his self-serving cousins Tyler and Alexis? Or is it someone else targeting the Draper heir?This time, it''s an almost insurmountable challenge for Georgie and her Crystal Ball Investigation Team...
