Magenta is the Warmest Colour

by L.J. Sharman

Meet Magenta, a woman with flexible morality, an array of tasteful turbans, and a case of fast-growing mystical powers.

She also has two husbands, darling Bernard and less-than-darling Derrick. Fortunately, Derrick has been dead for some time. Less fortunately, death isn't much of an obstacle when you're a gifted medium, and Derrick has decided it's time to pay Magenta a visit from the Other Side. Because Derrick wants something, and he's willing to haunt Magenta for the rest of her life to get it.

Magenta has three days to return husband no.1 to the Other Side, or she's stuck with him for good. Only dubious doings, dark magic and dealings with the criminal underworld can help her now!

Listened to the podcast version at work.

The only way you can get this book currently, is listening to Madame Magenta (and her husband Bernard) read it to you on the Madame Magenta Sonos Mystica podcast. It’s highly entertaining and I recommend it. (Note: As of November 2023 the podcast is still active and the creators have multiple feeds/stories, so something is being updated fairly consistently.)

Rumor has it a second edition is in work, but no word on when or what format it may arrive in. (If you read either of her books, you’ll understand that she is a very busy woman!)
