Synopsis

Its Halloween, and Ruby is looking forward to a party at China Bayles house and a busy holiday weekend at her New Age shop, the Crystal Cave. But her holiday plans are interrupted when Jessica Nelson, a crime reporter at the Pecan Springs Enterprise, shows up with a hard-to-believe story about a serial killer who is targeting the terminally ill. Jessica claims that the killers calling carda card picturing Azrael, the Angel of Deathcomes from a deck Ruby once carried in her shop. But Jessicas story turns out to be true, and Ruby has to use her psychic ability to discover the killers identity before he chooses another victim. When Detective Ethan Connors gets involved in the mystery, and when Jessica herself is threatened, Rubys psychic abilities are put to the test in ways she could never have predicted. And at the same time, she finds herself falling in love with a detective who seems to know her better than she knows herself.

Goodreads review by Sue on September 09, 2023

This trilogy of novellas featuring China's friend & business partner, Ruby Wilcox, allowed Ruby a chance to shine & she was interesting. She always is in the novels, but has only had a couple where she's more of a main character. In the main novels, Ruby's psychic sense has always been a liability t......more

Goodreads review by Carol on October 06, 2021

I didn't find this story as satisfying as the first two for several reasons. I did listen to the audiobook.

Secondly the ending was not as satisfying as it could hav......more
