From the back of the audiobook- Meet Leda Foley: devoted friend, struggling travel agent, and inconsistent psychic. Then Leda, sole proprietor of Foley's Far-Fetched Flights of Fancy, impulsively rebooks Seattle PD detective Grady Merritt's flight, her life changes in ways she could have never foretold.
When his original plane blows up on the runway, Grady begins to suspect that Leda's special abilities could help with a cold case he just can't crack.
Despite her scattershot premonitions, she agrees to join the investigation for a secret reason: her fiancé's murder remains unsolved. Leda's psychic abilities couldn't help that sad case, but she's been honing her skills and drawing a crows 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 ragtag group of bar patrons and pals alike, Leda and Grady set out to catch a killer- and learn how to two cases that haunt them have more in common than they ever suspected.
Review- This is a fun new cozy mystery with good characters and a good mystery that kept me guessing. Leda's abilities are hit and miss but when they hit, they hit hard. She stops Seattle PD detective Grady Merritt from being involved in a plane accident, he wants her to try and help him with a cold case. Thus the plot begins but it is the characters that really shine in this book. Leda is very funny, she has very normal worries about both her travel agency and her psychic visions. The writing is excellent, the pacing was good, the setting was very easy to imagine, and the plot is a fun, fresh take on the cozy formula.
I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this audiobook from my local library.
