Cass
Donovan returns to her hometown of Bay Island, leaving her
New York psychiatric practice and a cheating ex-husband behind
in New York, to open her new shop, Mystical Musings. Cass
believes she isn’t really psychic, but when she experiences
a sudden blackness while doing a reading for Ellie Callahan,
she recalls the last time that happened, a death followed.
Since Ellie’s husband, Jay, is a bully, Cass fears for
Ellie’s safety. Later, Ellie’s mother, Marge,
publicly confronts Cass, warning her to stay away from her
daughter.
The following morning, Cass heads for the local theater, intent
on helping her friend, Bee, a clothing designer, prepare for
his upcoming fashion show. After she finds Marge’s lifeless
body in the orchestra pit, Chief Langdon arrives and, aware
of their earlier argument, considers Cass his main suspect.
Cass’s friend and old schoolmate, Stephanie, and her
husband, Tank, tell Cass not to worry. Bee agrees, adding
that there are enough people who wouldn’t mind Marge
being out of the picture. But when Chief Langdon continues
his attempts to prove her guilty, Cass becomes determined
to find the real killer, thus putting her own life in jeopardy.
I love paranormal mysteries, and although Cass believes she’s
not psychic in the traditional sense, she is intuitive and
her experience as a psychiatrist helps her to “read”
people. Cass is a strong, believable main character who cares
deeply about people. Miss Gregory’s other characters,
Stephanie and Tank, are easy to fall in love with, but Bee
is my favorite. He’s a big-hearted man who shies away
from anything psychic, thus adding humor to the intriguing
plot. Then there’s Luke, a mysterious and sexy stranger
who makes Cass’s knees turn to mush.
I thoroughly enjoyed Death at First Sight and can’t
until the next release in what promises to be an outstanding
series.
