“Delightful.” —The New York Times Book Review A psychic travel agent and a Seattle PD detective solve a murder in this quirky mystery in the vein of Lisa Lutz’s The Spellman Files and Charlaine Harris’s Aurora Teagarden series.Meet Leda Foley: devoted friend, struggling travel agent, and inconsistent psychic. When Leda, sole proprietor of Foley's Flights of Fancy, impulsively re-books Seattle PD detective Grady Merritt’s flight, her life changes in ways she couldn’t have predicted. After watching his original plane blow up from the safety of the airport, Grady realizes that Leda’s special abilities could help him with a cold case he just can’t crack. Despite her scattershot premonitions, she agrees for a secret reason: her fiancé’s murder remains unsolved. Leda’s psychic abilities couldn’t help the case several years before, but she’s been honing her skills and drawing a crowd at her favorite bar’s open-mic nights, where she performs Klairvoyant Karaoke—singing whatever song comes to mind when she holds people’s personal effects. Now joined by a rag-tag group of bar patrons and pals alike, Leda and Grady set out to catch a killer—and learn how the two cases that haunt them have more in common than they ever suspected.

"Easy, light, popcorn read…"

"“Did you flash on something”<br/><br/>I found this to be more of a cozy mystery. The beginning I really enjoyed. Especially with a wavering psychic on board who never believed her abilities until she was able to “save” someone unintentionally. <br/><br/>It did lose its spark after and I did have a tough time being able to concentrate on it. Causing me to have to read the same thing over and over. The quote was used rather extensively as well."

"This was a fast read, but very cute! I love Seattle, and paranormal spins on cop dramas, so this one ticked all the boxes. Klairvoyant karaoke needs to become a real thing (calling all psychics!) and I really enjoyed the dynamic between Leda and Grady.<br/><br/>Overall, this was more cozy than crime, but given the setting and the fact I needed to get over a book hangover, this was the cure!"

"The first book I pickup after a few weeks off (to get married) and I LOVED IT! A light hearted mystery novel that you will devour in one sitting. Entertaining, humorous, and filled with mystery you think you’ve figured out but pleased with the surprises around every corner (pages :D) This first in this series novel introduces us to Leda Foley a Travel Agency owner, but also kinda sorta psychic. Did that get your attention? :) <br/><br/>After practically saving the life of a Seattle PD detective, he recruits her to help solve unsolved cases. It’s like watching an episode of Dateline, but with some humor, and even more twists and turns. <br/><br/>I cannot wait to read the next installment!"
