Now You See Her

By Cecilia Tishy

     When her aunt died, Regina Cutter got more than she bargained for. In addition to a house, she also inherited her aunt's psychic abilities.

      Detective Frank Devaney, asks "Reggie" to use her abilities to help him investigate an old crime. Henry, a young black man, was convicted of killing a white politician's son. Thirteen years later Frank thinks there may have been a mistake.

      When a rich white woman is murdered, the police focus all of their attention on finding her killer. Frank no longer has time to look into Henry's case. Reggie is on her own.

       The deeper she digs, the more Reggie is convinced that there is a connection between the old murder and the new. She goes to Detective Devaney with her suspicions. He is very dismissive. The deeper she digs for evidence, the more treacherous her life becomes.

       In a matchmaking attempt, her eccentric aunt willed shared custody of her beagle to Reggie and to a biker named Stark. When he shows up to take the dog for his custodial days, Stark discovers Reggie hiding in fear.

        Stark offers to help Reggie spy on her prime suspect, knowing full well that it is a bad idea,

         This story reads as if it were a continuation of a series with references to previous cases. I would have liked to have had more insight into Reggie's discovery of her psychic powers. The premise has great potential. Unfortunately, it is not reached. This book was quite unfulfilling.
