Of course, when a civilian starts helping out with a murder investigation, there is usually trouble ahead. Leda is also a bit naive which makes her character relatable, even with all the psychic premonitions. They don’t hold back their opinions and sometimes that gets them in a bit of trouble. Leda and her best friend, Niki are snarky and witty. But, I got through it and the rest of the story kept me interested with a few chuckles, some good suspense, and likable characters. Ironically, I read it while flying to Denver and didn’t realize this book started with an airport scene and a bad flight situation.

I don’t usually choose mysteries, but this one sounded light-hearted (even for a murder mystery) that I felt like I could give it a try. He wonders if Leda can save him from a burning airplane, maybe she can help him find the murderer. She becomes a hit and then Grady Merritt enters her life.ĭetective Merritt is trying to solve a very strange murder of a well-known businessman and his son, but the pieces just aren’t coming together. She also wasn’t sure what to do with all her psychic abilities and premonitions until she started klairvoyant karaoke at the local bar and sings songs based on the audience’s personal effects of a loved one. Leda has been floundering ever since her fiancé was murdered. When she rebooks his flights due to a “bad feeling” and he watches the plane he was supposed to fly home on go up in flames, he decides he needs to meet this Leda in person. Leda Foley has just opened her own travel agent office and one of her first clients, Grady Merritt, unbeknownst to Leda, is a Seattle PD detective. When she found out her travel agent was also a psychic on the side for the local police department, she knew she had to make that into a novel. Her travel agent rebooked her before all the chaos started happening in the airport and she made it home by 11:57 that night. New-to-me author, Cherie Priest, had a similar situation happen to her except her flight was canceled due to weather and not a dangerous situation. When a psychic travel agent rebooks you to a different flight, and then you watch that original plane go up in fire, you don’t question her.
