Synopsis

A dead ballplayer means foul play in Salem . . .

Field reporter Lee Barrett is not happy that her hours are being cut back at WICH-TV, although it is nice to spend more time volunteering with Aunt Ibby, a research librarian at Salem's main branch. But Lee's least favorite task is going up to the stacks, a spooky, seldom-frequented upper section of the library. On this day she has good reason to be afraid—she finds a dead man, surrounded by hundreds of scattered books and torn-out pages.

Her police detective beau, Pete Mondello, is soon on the scene, and the deceased is identified as a former minor league baseball player—and ex-con—named Wee Willie Wallace, who hasn't been seen in Salem for twenty years. With help from her friend River's Tarot reading, her clairvoyant cat O'Ryan, and Lee's own psychic gifts, she steps up to the plate to catch the killer who took the old ballplayer out of the game . . .

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book. I do love the setting and premise of these books; it's obvious the author knows her hometown well although she admits to changing some details to better suit the novel. It adds a real home town appeal that works throughout, an......more

2.5 stars, but ok enough to be rounded up. This was my least favourite bad guy and mystery so far in this series. Creepy - sure - but somehow displaced as if brought in from a different book universe. Lee's scrying powers have sort of stopped evolving and wasn't as present or playing an as significan......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on August 16, 2019

This is a great series, fast paced, plenty of strong, colorful characters, and always an interesting mystery to solve. It's Halloween in Salem, MA and Lee is a bit out off as her hours at WICH TV have been reduced. When Lee becomes involved in the stations anniversary celebration, she is reminded of a......more
