This review is from: Darkness at the Door (Five Star First Edition Mystery) (Hardcover)

I found this a struggle to finish. Mariana Morgan is a psychic healer, albeit a fairly new psychic. She's only recently discovered her skills and is trying to develop them by starting her life over. There are, apparently, previous books in the series, but I didn't realize this right away, and it definitely made this story a lot more difficult to understand without the previous information from those stories. Mariana has a negative reading with Umberto Marconi, only to find him dead on the doorstep of the shop where she works after they close up shop, a shop which houses several different alternate healers. LAPD detective David Claybourne keeps an open mind, at least enough to inquire with the alternate healers as to any knowledge they might have in regards to Marconi. He keeps his eye on Mariana, as well. I didn't particularly care for the characters or the writing, but it could be that I didn't like jumping into a series mid-stream.
