A murder mystery, a romance, and a psychic – three of my favorite combined tropes.
A serial killer is targeting
Boston’s gay population, leaving puzzling clues for the police. The victims are
killed in the same fashion, and a Scrabble letter tile is always left behind
leaving the police to wonder if the tiles are random or will ultimately spell
something – and can they anticipate the spelling clue to possibly figure out
who’s the next victim or who’s the killer?
After several months of
frustration, the police chief decides to bring in a psychic. Homicide detective
Gary Mitchell is stunned at this tactic, as are the rest of Boston PD. But the
chief points out that Dan Porter has had success with NYPD and Chicago PD.
The story moves between the killer
and our main characters, but we don’t learn whodunit until the end.
Both Gary and Dan are gay, giving
the reader a slow burn romance as they get to know each other while trying to
sort out the clues Dan picks up from the various homicide scenes.
This is the first book in the
Second Sight series, but as this title has been out only since May, 2023,
subsequent titles have not been published yet.
(If you enjoy this, you may also
wish to try The Bishop Special Crimes series by Kay Hooper (psychic FBI
agents) or The Psychic Eye cozy, mystery series by Victoria Laurie.)
