About this ebook

A cold case lures psychic consultant Amber McNeil to investigate a life taken too soon... 

Amber McNeil, psychic consultant to the Montreal Police Service cold case unit, faces her most challenging case yet. In 1983, eighteen-year-old Susan Kendall’s frozen body was discovered in an alley under a foot of snow during a Christmas Eve blizzard.

Susan had quit her waitress job at the local diner hours earlier and was about to start a new life, only to be brutally murdered. Her cries for help went unheard in the small, secretive town of Willowburg, a dying municipality in the west end of Montreal.

The original investigation was cursory and rushed with many loose ends and missed opportunities. Information in the investigative file is sparse, and witness accounts are vague with the passage of time.

As Amber and her partner, Detective Ryan Baxter, navigate a secret romance, doubting coworkers, and the scant evidence on hand, can Amber rely on her psychic perceptions to lead her to the killer and solve this cold case?

Ratings and reviews

Amber's psychic abilities are tested once again as she tries to solve another cold case with Detective Ryan and keep their relationship undercover from the team. I love a good Christmas mystery, and the supernatural spin really added to the story. This holiday story has suspense, romance and you'll never guess the ending!
