Review

In her fourth Eastern Shore Mystery, Cheril Thomas is on top of her game.

Her latest client is a shy young woman who is being harassed by a mean neighbor and herded around by an obsessive young man, a survivor of the car accident that killed the young woman's family. That Elinor, the shy and damaged girl, professes to have psychic abilities throws more tension.Add a brand new bully of a town cop and the sudden demise of the repulsive neighbor and Grace is off and running when she isn't having morning sickness. The most complex and diabolical of the Grace Reagan series yet, thus sure to please readers.
