| Former
cop Clyde Fortune is helping her nephew, Seth, plan a Zombie
Fun Run to raise funds for an animal rescue league. She's
also secretly taking lessons from an experience psychic, hoping
to control her burgeoning psychic abilities. Her police detective
boyfriend, Mac, is aware of Clyde's abilities, as most of
her rather complex family are psychics.
Clyde's older sister, Grace, and brother-in-law, Paul, arrive
in town with their daughter, Seth's sister Sophie, after several
years' absence. Grace explains that she and Paul are in trouble,
and asks Clyde and Mac to become guardians to Seth and Sophie,
should anything happen to them. Soon after the Zombie Fun
Run is finished, Grace's ex-fiancé, Derek, is found
stabbed to death. Mac investigates the death, but the fact
Derek is wearing the same pirate costume as Paul leads Clyde
to wonder if Derek was truly the intended victim.
When Grace and Paul explain why the two mysterious men in
town may be hired killers after them, Clyde and Mac agree
to be guardians to Seth and Sophie. Soon as they sign the
papers, Grace and Paul disappear, and a boat they took bursts
into flames. Though they searched the lake, the police conclude
Grace and Paul are dead. But little Sophie is certain her
parents are alive. If the boat explosion was a ruse to escape
being murdered, why are the strangers still following Clyde
around town?
An Unhappy Medium is an excellent cozy with all the
elements of a thrilling suspense novel, including ominous
motives, dark family secrets, and missing diamonds …
and that's just for starters. Dawn Eastman has once again
written an extraordinary page turner, alive with unique and
amiable characters, a masterful plot and an exceptional mystery
that kept me entranced for hours. Don't miss it.
