Publisher's summary

Unemployed accountant Sophie Masterson never dreams that a trip to Salem on Halloween night will change her life forever. When a birthday gift of a psychic reading is thrust upon her by her best friend, Sophie has no choice but to play along. She wants the winning lottery numbers but, instead, receives something far more ominous - a warning of things to come. Being told her own clairvoyant abilities will soon surface should be enough to send any woman running to hide. Throw in the possibility that something sinister is headed her way and all she wants is an easy out.

When asked to help her brother, the police chief, with some easy filing, she's sure that her problems are over. She now has an income, a job, and a safe haven where she can relax. What she doesn't expect is that one of those files will be the catalyst to set the wheels in motion for the predictions to come true.

Detective Jack Love has a hard time following instructions. When his latest bust gets him benched, and shoved in the cold case filing room, the last thing he expects is to be tasked with babysitting the chief's sister. When unqualified and in-need-of-medication Sophie gets the crazy idea to play detective on a case gone cold, there is little he can do to dissuade her from investigating.

Attempting to keep her clairvoyant abilities a secret, Sophie Masterson thrusts herself into a cold case where the dead are multiplying, the clues are disappearing, and the hunky cop assigned to play babysitter is a nonbeliever. She doesn't hold out much hope for solving the case, much less keeping her secret, especially when the dead seek her out to tell their tales.

When Sophie plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with winner takes all, it's no longer the dead that scare her, but Jack Love. Surviving with her heart intact now ranks at the top of her list.

Good mystery with fantasy

Good mystery combined with good mystic flavor and nice romance without explicit hot sex scenes.

Good Story... Bad narrating!

The story is good but the narrator did not know how to give the male characters believable voices.

LIFTING THE VEIL

I ENJOYED LISTENING TO THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST BOOKS I HAVE LISTEN TO. THIS BOOK HAD LOT MYSTERY I DIDN'T REALLY CARE FOR THE MALE NARRATOR HE SOUNDED LIKE HE HAD A COLD OR AN OLD MAN. THE STORY WAS INTERESTING AND MYSTERIOUS, IT REALLY KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. I'M GETTING READY TO LISTEN TO BOOK 2 RIGHT NOW WITH HOPES OF THIS NEXT ONE TO JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER THEN BOOK 1.

Amazing!

Captivating and nostalgic! Kept me entranced and on my toes from beginning to end. Love story meets mystery murder! What more could a girl ask for! So exited to see where Sophie goes from here and what she makes out of having such a gift! Way to go Kate Allenton, you've gained a fan and can't wait to see what else you have in store for your readers!

Good mystery book

Fun read. Interesting psychic mystery story even though I knew who did it early but fun seeing this tale unfold. The narration was the perfect voice for this story. Worth reading.

l was pleasantly surprised to find my self really getting into this cold case murder mystery. It was really good, so much so l hope there is a continuing series about this girl. The narrator did a great job in my opinion.
