Reviews

There are really two stories in this book: one strictly paranormal and one involving the murder mystery. I really liked the paranormal one - just spooky enough to make me wonder if I shouldn't have avoided reading it right before bed. The murder mystery part, I'm not sure - it was a bit psychotic for my personal tastes - a bit too darkish. And I really didn't care for her romantic interest in this book.

Overall, I'm not sure if I'll read another or not - I really liked her and her friends, but I'll have to take a peak at further books to see if she sticks with this love interest or finds another before deciding.

Emerald O'Brien owns Chintz 'n China where visitors can get tarot readings and tea. She finds herself investigating a death when the dead woman asks her for help. She also has to deal with the fact that her son is exploring magic and has managed to complicate the issue.

Along with her friends she works on the issues and we see into her life and her magic.

It's an interesting look at magic and detective stories with more of a touch of realism than most in this area. You can tell that the author knows her stuff.
