Some towns aren't meant to have their curses broken. Naomi and Penelope, the Dotson twins, don't believe in curses, particularly when they involve entire towns rather than individuals, but apparently most of the residents of Centerville feel otherwise. The latest in a string of what the twins call horrific coincidences is the murder of Joe Harbaugh, town councilman and business paragon. On the heels of his death, a series of break-ins at local establishments occur. The police narrow down their suspect list to one of Harbaugh's terminated employees, but the sisters aren't convinced. Together, Naomi and Penelope start their own investigation and get tangled up in a web of lies, kidnapping, and attempted murder. Can the Dotson twins solve the mystery before someone else gets hurt?

Zilchrest, one of Centerville's most prominent philanthropists, dies in a tragic car wreck, lawyer Sylvester (Sly) Jones is assigned to represent the other driver, Jorge Casa, a teenager who is accused of texting while driving.

Nattie Ryan's bookstore, Mystery, Ink, is dying right before her eyes, and her beloved son, Jeffrey, is in prison for drug trafficking, a crime he didn't commit. Yet nothing compares to the complications in her life when she discovers her friend, Clyde Hamilton, sitting on a park bench, strangled in the same manner as the unsolved murder, 30 years before, of Doctor Adams. The police arrest a drifter who is passing through Centerville, but Natalie knows they have the wrong man, because he has no knowledge of the first murder. To avenge the death of her friend, she sets off on a harrowing journey that plunges her into danger with deadly consequences.

As a coroner, Dr. Marv Henderson is more comfortable around corpses than with the living, especially his adult daughter, Mary, who refuses to speak to him. But when members of his book club are murdered the same way as characters in the mystery novel they're reading, he unwittingly leads the killer to his daughter's doorstep. And when a romance with a fellow book club member, the mysterious Lyla Baxter, finally seems possible, Dr. Marv fears she's involved in the serial killing and is nothing more than a deadly distraction.

Sherry Lincoln''s childhood home had sat next to the Brentwood Library for forty-two years. Each time she visited the library, she always took a moment to reminisce and also to inspect it for changes as the house embraced new owners. In 2013, she noticed something peculiar: her house was gone. Puzzled and saddened, she inquired at the library, hoping someone would have information about why her house was ""missing."" Not only had the librarian heard, but she had been a part of the deconstruction effort, which was to provide land for the expansion of the library. Still saddened, but now wanting to hear more of the story, she contacted Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, MO, the organization that recycled every piece of the house, and learned that her house was not gone-it was everywhere, piece by piece becoming the homes of others.As she toured Habitat for Humanity Restore, the plethora of items displayed there triggered memories of life in her home. From Venetian blinds to screen doors, school redistricting to biking down Suicide Hill, and pets (common and not-so-common), she begins to realize the fate of her house may be reconciled by its new "life" everywhere. Part memoir and part historic account, The Everywhere House captures life in the American 1950''s as Lincoln retells the birth and eventual rebirth of her childhood home.
