To all people who believe in superstitions, and to those who claim they don’t but follow one or two—or more—just in case. May you have lots of luck, and may all of it be good!

And again, to my readers, particularly those who enjoy cozy mysteries with fun-to-write themeslike superstitions. Unlimited luck to all of you, too—and keep on reading!

And as always, to my husband Fred.
