About this eBook

Salem’s WICH-TV program director Lee Barrett is about to discover no good deed goes unpunished . . .
 
Lee has been promoted from field reporter to program director. Keeping track of all the shows and managing the local TV personalities—including a cowboy, a clown, and a performing dog—has her head spinning. Perhaps that’s what makes her take pity on the distraught woman she finds sitting alone on a bench on the Salem common. When she realizes that the poor woman doesn’t even know her own name, Lee takes her into the warmth of the home she shares with her Aunt Ibby and their clairvoyant gentleman cat, O’Ryan. Maybe Lee can use her own psychic gifts to divine the woman’s identity.
 
Lee’s detective beau Pete Mondello wants to talk to the “Jane Doe,” but before he can investigate, he’s called to a crime scene. A body has been found washed up in a narrow harbor cove. As harmless as her new houseguest seems, Lee can’t help but wonder if she may be harboring a killer . . .

Ratings and reviews

amnesia, swindles, murder, murder-investigation, television, stalker, law-enforcement, clairvoyant, real-estate, relationships, attempted-murder, senior-sleuths***** This is my first in this series but I think that it stands alone very well. Lee has upgraded to program manager and has a very complicated job, she is also clairvoyant in the sense that she sees reality in a mirror and can use that information. Did I mention that she lives in Salem? First she comes across a woman in the park who has amnesia, but she takes her home to her witchy aunt and friends. Then there's the murdered man in the water. Lots of sleuthing by all! The characters are clear and realistic, the plot twists are devious, and the red herrings are maddening. Loved it! I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

This is another entertaining mystery in the Witch City series. Lee, a reporter for the local station, finds herself in the midst of a mystery after she offers assistance to a woman who has lost her memory. Before long, Lee finds herself being terrorized by a murderer. Pete, her detective boyfriend, pulls out all the stops to both solve the crime and keep Lee safe. This one kept me guessing up until the very end, however, for me the real charm of the story was how the characters have continued to grow and change. I loved how Lee has thrown herself fully into her new duties, even as her relationship with Pete continues to deepen and grow. Fans of the genre will love this book. Put it at the top of your TBR list. While it is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however, its so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.
