Just needed something funny!

It is getting good. Years ago, the inhabitants of Fogg Lake were subjected to a mysterious gas coming from the nearby cave system, which knocked them all out. Upon awakening, the residents had developed the ability to visualize auras of those around them. Two young women witnessed the murder of a bespeckled man inside those caves. Years later, they became PIs in Seattle. Now they are being hunted.

This novella has turned out to be about mental health issues, specifically a young woman in an elite high school in California. Emma started there shortly after her mother died from cancer and actually excelled, but then.... her younger sister passed away too. That was the 'last straw' causing Emma to spiral out of control, getting entranced with fire and self-immolation. Her father, a lawyer isn't helping.
