Tempest in the Tea Leaves: A Fortune Teller Mystery
In the fortune telling business there are a lot of pretenders, but Sunshine Meadows is the real deal-and her predictions can be lethally accurate... Leaving the Big Apple for a quaint town of Divinity, New York, Sunny is determined to make it on her own as a psychic. With an ancient Victorian house as her place of business, Sunny uses various psychic methods to aid the town's residents. But when she uses tea leaves to give a reading for a frazzled librarian, what she finds at the bottom of the cup is anything but helpful. Sunny informs the police of her deadly vision, but her warning is too late. And with hard-nose, ruggedly handsome Detective Mitch Stone denying her abilities and naming her prime suspect, the situation is dire. Now Sunny has to use her visions to clear her name, before the killer can put an end to the psychic's future...
Not too bad for a "First in a new series"... It wasn't one of my favorites but it was by far the most quirkiest mysteries I've read! I like the characters in the sweet little town of Divinity. I LOVE the chemistry between Sunny & Detective Stone, and I'm very interested in where that relationship might lead. Sunny can be a bit impulsive, eccentric and bit neurotic... but she does have spunk, pizazz and a genuinely good heart. The only part I didn't like was toward the end... I felt sort of like I was being led on a wild goose chase, when trying to figure out the killer. I sort of had my superstitions who the killer was about half way into the book but still wanted to get to the bottom of it for sure. It did keep my interest most of the time but, would I read it again? Probably not... Ironically I'll probably be reading the library's copy of the next book in the series.
