The House that Vanity Built by Nancy Cole Silverman
5.0
Misty Dawn isn't what you might expect when you think of a psychic. She is a matter of fact and doesn't hold anything back when sharing what she learns or what she thinks about people, situations, or cases. She gets around town with her shade, Winston, that has a flair for the dramatic and doesn't seem to understand that he has some limitations as to what he can or should do as a shade. Misty is always telling him he shouldn't do certain things or that other spirit beings can be harmful to his progression if he ever wants to leave this world.
In this second in the series, Misty is helping Amy with what seems to be an innocent task - what happened to her engagement ring. While Misty can't tell her exactly where it is, she knows it isn't lost forever. She never expects to receive a call a day or two later with the news that Amy's fiance is dead. His father doesn't believe it was an accident and pushes the police to investigate. Of course with Misty's minor ties to the case, she inserts herself to help discover the true cause of Jared's death.
The case is laid out for the reader with multiple suspects, misdirection, and shenanigans by some luminaries - namely Dr. Conroy's deceased wife and mistress. The story kept me engaged and just when I thought I might have solved the mystery, a new clue was introduced or my reasonings were proven incorrect. I was quite surprised at the reveal and how the story ended.
Another great cozy with a paranormal twist. We give this book 5 paws up.
