Description

In the second installment of the Nora Breen Investigates series—“perfect for cozy mystery lovers” (Book Riot)—beloved former nun Nora Breen returns, this time to track down a ghostly killer before it’s too late.

When Dolores Chimes, a famous medium, arrives in Gore-on-Sea, even surly Detective Inspector Rideout is lured in by her promises of messages for the afterlife.

But after a reading goes disastrously wrong, Dolores loses her life—and the six sitters at the séance with her fall victim to supernatural deaths themselves in the days following the nightmare of a reading.

Determined to unveil the truth, Nora finds herself chasing a ghostly serial killer she believes to be responsible, before the sixth victim—Detective Rideout himself—perishes along with the others.

I thought this second instalment in Jess Kidd’s Nora Breen series was even better than the first! I like how the characters develop, and l love Kidd’s writing; she’s perceptive and makes it easy to get inside a character’s head. This series is a departure from her other works, which I’m also a big fan of. I hope this series continues for a long time.

Thank you to Atria, Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for the ARC!
