Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

A Haunting Dream (Daring Finds Mystery #4)

A Haunting Dream - Joyce Lavene, Jim Lavene

Really good story about not only a murder that Dae sees when she touches an object, but also a missing girl.

 

The release of her boyfriends ex-fiance from a psychiatric facility adds a dimension of awkwardness, but also another psychic from which Dae can learn a bit more about her gifts and their evolution.

 

I'm not sure if the murderer is supposed to be a giant surprise or not - it wasn't obvious to me, but the reveal didn't surprise me either. This book had quite a bit of action for a cozy and the pace felt quick.

 

Dae's family dynamics are complicated and I think the author is trying to paint her grandfather as crusty, but loveable - all I get is a cantankerous, judgemental old man.

 

A solid series and I'm looking forward to seeing where the next book goes...
