My Teaser from page 91 in the Paperback.

Celeste explaining about her garden gnomes:

“I bought one for my garden when I moved in. It was cheap, and I don’t know, it was so ugly it was kinda cute. So I put it in the front flowerbed. That afternoon, the old woman who lives next door came banging on my front door. She told me she hated my gnome, how ugly it was, and that it gave her the creeps….She also told me what flowers I should grow, how to arrange them, that my music was too loud…she just kept nitpicking at me. So I went out nda bought a couple more just to terrorize her.”

I know this was a long one, but I loved it!

Synopsis

Four women have been found dead in the outskirts of a small Wisconsin town. The only witness, clairvoyant Celeste Risinski, observes these brutal murders through violent nightmares and hellish visions. The local sheriff, who believes in Celeste’s abilities and wants to rid their peaceful community of a killer, enlists the help of an old friend, Ian Scott, owner of a private criminal investigation agency, CORE. Because of Ian’s dark history with Celeste’s family, a history she knows nothing about, he sends his top criminalist, former FBI agent John Kain to investigate. John doesn’t believe in Celeste’s mystic hocus-pocus, or in her visions of the murders. But just when he’s certain they’ve solved the crimes, with the use of science and evidence, more dead bodies are discovered. Could this somehow be the work of the same killer or were they dealing with a copycat? To catch a vicious murderer, the skeptical criminalist reluctantly turns to the sensual psychic for help. Yet with each step closer to finding the killer, John finds himself one step closer to losing his heart.

I won this book in the author’s giveaway some time ago.  I shared the excerpt about the gnome because I also won a garden gnome.

Isn’t he just too cute!

Since then I’ve read other books in the CORE series but realized I hadn’t written my review for this one. It’s the book that kicks off the series.

Stop back by for my Friday 56 post on June 26th to catch my review!

    HaHa! I have a gnome in my flower bed and I had my two ballplayers stand in front of the flower bed to take a pic in their uniforms. When I went to post on Facebook and tag them, a box was also placed around the gnome’s face. My son said I should have tagged Travelocity or something. LOL!
