Deanna Oscar inherited her grandmother’s mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana and it comes complete with an attic full of bad ghosts and other rooms inhabited by good ghosts. Another plus is that Deanna has visits from her grandmother’s ghost from time to time.

Being a psychologist as well as a psychic has its advantages and disadvantages, but Deanna refuses to take advantage of her talent for seeing the future and doing psychic readings, choosing rather to use her gifts to help the police keep New Orleans’ innocent people safe.

Deanna successfully closes her last case only to be faced with the murder of one of her close friends. Not only does she have to suffer the grief of losing her friend, but she must face off with Muriel Jennings who claims to be a psychic as well and who tries to work this murder case in Deanna’s stead. However, Deanna knows beyond any doubt that Muriel is a fake. She just can’t figure out what Muriel’s game is until it’s almost too late.

Deanna turns to The Lotus Circle friends for support and learns she is able to increase her skills to a point where she can solve the murder. That is, if she lives to do so.

About the Author:
Cheryl Dragon enjoys writing suspenseful stories involving psychics, spirits and ghosts.  While she possesses no exceptional metaphysical skills thus far, Cheryl is fascinated by psychic powers and The Other Side.  Both topics are part of her continual research.
 
Cheryl lives in the Chicagoland area with her deaf albino cat that always sees what no one else does.  By day Cheryl analyzes numbers as an Assistant Controller for a division of a large international conglomerate, which leaves the creative juices free for her writing.

Cheryl Dragon writes with humor and I like that. Humor offsets the murder in a story without harming the story at all. A touch of psychic phenomena is fast becoming one of my favorite elements of fiction. Combine psychic touches with humor and a good mystery and the story becomes a great ‘out-of-body’ experience for me. This is a good read. After reading this book, I learned Cheryl has another out about Deanna Oscar. It’s named I’m OK, You’re Dead. I’m about to start that one. Enjoy.
