About this listen

Darwin Winters, reluctant pet psychic, is determined to leave her family's paranormal past behind and lead a normal life. So she strikes out on her own and opens up a new pet boutique in St. Pete, Florida. When a local homeless man she befriends is found dead, and the police assume it's a suicide, Darwin has no choice but to use her gift to help collar the killer.

She adopts his grieving mastiff, Karma - and with the dog's help - tries to piece together the events of that fatal night. Accepting the visions is one thing, but can she solve the mystery without revealing her powers to the jaded, yet drool-worthy, detective in charge of the case? Or will the killer put an end to her psychic sleuthing and bury the truth for good?

This book has a little bit of everything. Romance, death, murder, mystery and psychic powers. What more could a girl ask for? A gentle read for holidays.

I want to say I enjoyed this book but it had me in tears ( but then I do cry at Disney films). Unusually for a cozy mystery the author kills off a nice guy, after you have gotten to know him and to be honest I was disappointed with the motive. However I liked the characters but yes you guessed it Karma the dog stole the show. Darwin's psychic powers were in the form of visions after a dog has suffered a trauma. Which did lead her to investigating the death but seemed more of a hindrance than a help, as nobody knows about her gift, not even the love interest in her life. So unable to tell anybody where she got the information she put herself in danger a lot, otherwise I liked her. The homeless situation and PTSD was handled with respect and compassion from the main character. As for the mystery I suspected everyone and kept changing my mind as to who was responsible, which kept me reading until the end.
