Her headlights shone on the white garage door and her mouth gaped opened at the large block letters scrawled across the door.

“A suspenseful finale delivers not just tense moments, but a heroine who must deal with the resulting trauma. This realism makes it a standout novel in the abundant cozy mystery genre.”

Yep, I’m bringing back Friday Reads. Now, I won’t have a Friday Reads post every week because I don’t read that fast. So, next week I’m planning on reviving my Friday Faves posts. With that little bit of housekeeping out of the way, let’s get going on our post today.

Happy hot, humid Friday! This is supposed to be the last day in our heatwave. We shall see. The only good thing about this weather is that it’s kept me indoors working and reading. I got a lot of work done and I also finished reading A SPIRIT SEEKS ASYLUM by Lena Gregory. I shared this book when it released and I couldn’t wait to dive into it. I’m so glad I did because it was so much fun, as are all the Bay Island Psychic mysteries.

Cass Donovan is confronted by ghoulish crimes both old and new when a defunct asylum is the site of a fresh murder and a long-hidden injustice . . .

The old abandoned buildings of the Twin Forks Lunatic Asylum have always fascinated and frightened clairvoyant Cass Donovan, but she never dreamed her psychic abilities would be put to the test there. Then the new owner of the site tells her he plans to renovate it and turn it into a boarding school, and he’ll pay Cass handsomely to determine whether the place is haunted! Cass accepts his offer, but her search for hints of old ghosts soon has her looking for clues among the living when the man who hired her turns up dead.

Returning to the shuttered asylum looking for evidence of who may have wanted her client out of the way, Cass stumbles upon signs of yet another murder, even as she’s besieged by an onslaught of haunting voices from the past. When it comes to light that rival real estate developers have been hatching plans of their own for the property, Cass sees no shortage of motives for the murders, but she’ll have to find a way to quiet the disturbing voices from long ago and focus on the here and now, because whoever’s behind the killings has targeted Cass as their next victim . . .

I’m going to have to wait patiently for the next Bay Island Psychic mystery. Patience is a virtue, so I’m going to do my best. While I wait, I have picked my next read and it’s not a cozy.

“If she’s a black widow, I don’t think she’d hesitate killing a food blogger who’s catering her husband’s funeral reception.”

“This is the third book in the series and it just gets better and better!The characters are written vividly and full of personality. The whodunit was really top notch and kept me guessing.”

Cover Reveal, Resale Boutique Mysteries

Cover Reveal – Beauty & The Deceased

The next Resale Boutique Mystery has a cover and it’s so adorable. What do you think?

Here’s a little about the book:

Kelly Quinn’s Long Island consignment shop offers high style at secondhand prices—but when a body is found on the beach, she needs to start hunting for a wolf in sheep’s clothing . . . Kelly is thrilled when she gets a visit from a cousin she hasn’t seen in years. Becky’s cosmetics company is taking off, and she just might have laid the foundation for a big-money buyout. It’s a time to celebrate—but Kelly is heartbroken when a killer puts an end to their happy reunion during a mysterious midnight meeting near the shore.

Despite multiple warnings to steer clear, Kelly starts shadowing a variety of suspects both inside and outside the beauty business—when she isn’t busy filling the racks of the Lucky Cove Resale Boutique with lots of new inventory from a local shopaholic. Gossip and accusations are flying, but there’s no glossing over this ugly crime, and she’s going to make sure the culprit faces justice…

BEAUTY AND THE DECEASED releases on 12/14/21 and is available for pre-order. To get your copy click here and you’ll be taken to the Resale Boutique Mystery.

Being seated across from Elaine wasn’t the most comfortable feeling considering their history, but there was a sadness reverberating off Elaine and it tugged at Hope’s heart.

Debra Sennefelder gives readers a strong mystery in Three Widows and a Corpse. Great characters with perfect amounts of family life, romance, and humor. I was entertaining from beginning to end and can’t wait for my next visit Jefferson, Connecticut.”
