“There's crispness in Wesley’s plotting and sparkle in the supporting characters, notably Dessa’s feisty, elderly aunts – both possessed of extrasensory gifts – and a possible love interest in ex-cop Lennox Royal. And as Dessa follows a trail of lies through blackmail, dead-end clues, and corruption, she needs to see the truth fast-or a killer will bury her deep down with it. But it doesn't take a psychic to discover that everyone from Charlie's much-abused staff to his long-suffering younger wife had multiple reasons to want him dead. Until Charlie is brutally killed-and Dessa's bullied co-worker is arrested for murder. Unfortunately, putting her life back together means taking a gig at an all-kinds-of-shady real estate firm run by volatile owner Charlie Risko. The only things keeping Dessa going are her love for baking and her sometimes-mellow cat, Juniper. But second sight didn't warn her she would soon be a widow-and about to lose her home and the catering business she's worked so hard to build. Until now, Odessa Jones' inherited ability to read emotions and foretell danger has protected her. In the first of a thrilling new series, one woman's extraordinary psychic gift plunges her already-troubled present into chaos-and puts her future in someone's deadly sights. Award-winning author Valerie Wilson Wesley launches a thrilling new mystery series set in New Jersey, featuring a multicultural cast, and starring a caterer-turned-realtor with the gift of second sight.
