A government conspiracy. A life-threatening secret. Can a psychic accountant balance the books of justice?

Mary Catherine “MC” Mahoney prefers numbers to her supernatural powers. But when a cold-case corpse shows up under her cousin’s family home, the only calculations that add up are paranormal. And deep within the floorboards of the house on Xenia, MC and her madcap Greek family uncover evidence pointing to visitors from another planet…

Pursued by military agents intent on keeping the secrets buried, MC will have to play by the house’s rules to expose the alien mystery. And there’s only one member of the family who can get to the hidden truth…

Can MC reveal the cover-up, or will a dangerous hush job close her books forever?

The House on Xenia is a standalone novel in the Mary Catherine Mahoney cozy mystery series. If you like psychic female sleuths, crazy family antics, and long lost aliens, then you’ll love Rita Moreau’s quirky tale.

My Review

I am a huge fan of cozy mysteries and always looking for a different theme for them. A psychic and possibly aliens? I had to see what this was all about.

It was about the very likeable, funny and stubborn MC (Mary Catherine) and the predicament she winds up in. What is that predicament, you ask? Well, a corpse is found under her cousin’s house. It turns out to be from a cold case and when MC starts to investigate, she finds possible evidence of visitors from outer space. Aliens? Oh my!

This was just so much fun to read. There’s fun, zany characters, house included, and more than one mystery to figure out. Made me grin enough my face hurt.

It’s said that this is a stand alone in the series and you can enjoy it without having read previous books. I sure did. But, now I must go back and start at the beginning. I’m thinking I’ve missed a whole lot more fun.
