Lena Gregory is one of my favorite cozy mystery authors. She creates layers in both her characters and her story lines. It is tourist season in this installation of A Bay Island Psychic Mystery series. Cass Donovan’s Mystical Musings shop is swamped. When a fight breaks out at one of Cass’s readings and one of the men involved in the fight later shows up dead. Cass’s concern is twofold. First, there is a murderer on the loose in Bay Island and second, her sixth sense seems to be on the blink since she didn’t see it coming. To add further mayhem to the mix, Cass’s close friend is named as a suspect in the homicide. The clues take us on a delightful path full of twists and turns as Cass seeks to trap the murderer before the murderer traps Cass in his/her murderous web. If you are a fan of cozy mysteries and haven’t picked up one of Lena Gregory’s books yet, I highly recommend this series and the All-Day Breakfast Cafe Mystery cozies.

Cass is having a bad day. Her A/C isn't working and she has a bad feeling, but can't pin-point what the problem may be. She has a group reading and accidentally embarrasses several of the guests. Then a fight breaks out between a friend and a heckler. Later that night the friend is accused of murdering the heckler.

This was fun and the I loved the characters. Cass and her crew are likeable characters. Cass just wants to help others and her friends back her up. I have to like the characters and this cast is great. I enjoyed the setting, New Age/Psychic was interesting. The mystery had several red herrings. It is not the first in the series, but it is the first I have read. It was easy to keep the characters straight, so don't be afraid to dive right in.

Kindle Copy for Review from NetGalley and Beyond the Page Publishing

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Cass is busy with readings during the summer tourist season when a fight breaks out. This shaken her as her sixth sense seems to stop working properly. Even worse one of the men arguing is later found dead and one of her friends is prime suspect..

She must battle haunting images to prove her friend’s innocence as she investigates. Cass must be careful or she might just find herself as the next victim if she does not tread lightly.

Once again the author proves her writing ability.

Such a magical series that when I saw this pop up, I couldn't request it fast enough, and I was not disappointed. The author picks up right where the characters left off, and it feels like visiting my hometown. Everything about this book was amazing, the author setting up chaos right from the start, the characters engaging together nicely, but still keeping it quirky and real, and a murder with way too many suspects to figure out who the culprit was. Definitely a perfect read!
