Cass Donovan generally loves working in her shop and
giving psychic reading to her clients. However, she knows
that the disturbing darkness she sees during Ellie
Callahan's psychic reading is an ominous sign. But how
can she warn Ellie when all she sees is a dark shadow?
Soon afterwards, Cass is verbally accosted by Ellie's
mother, Marge Hawkins, who warns her to stay away from
Ellie or she'll report her to law enforcement.
Unfortunately, someone else on Bay Island has issues with
Marge and now Marge is dead, and Cass is the one who
finds the body. Can Cass uncover who the real murderer
is?
DEATH AT FIRST SIGHT is the first book in the Bay
Island Psychic Mystery series and wow, what a fun
start to this new cozy mystery series! We are introduced
to our main group of characters and start to learn their
back stories as the mystery progresses. While Cass is the
main character, I have to admit I have a fondness for Bee
Maxwell and his creative and entertaining personality.
Cass took a little bit longer to grow on me as her
impetuous decisions initially annoyed me.
DEATH AT FIRST SIGHT has a plethora of suspects as Marge
is almost universally disliked. Lena Gregory utilizes
this to the fullest, as the reader is kept guessing until
the surprising end. If you like cozy mysteries, then give
DEATH AT FIRST SIGHT a try as you may find yourself
hooked on this intriguing new series.
FIRST IN A VISIONARY NEW MYSTERY SERIES. It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see

readings to conflicted customers. But what she sees in Ellie
Callahan’s future doesn’t bode well.
When
Ellie’s mother, Marge, publicly confronts Cass about the
reading, the embarrassment makes her want to curl up and
die. And when she later stumbles across Marge’s body—and is
a suspect in her murder—Cass is suddenly the star of Bay
Island’s rumor mill.
Cass is determined to
prove her innocence and save Ellie from meeting the fate in
her unfortunate vision. But even with the help of her
friends Bee and Stephanie, Cass will have to channel some
serious sleuthing instincts to find the real killer...
