Lee Barrett lost many possession in the fire that destroyed
part of her aunt's home. One was an antique bureau that
had secret drawers. When her Aunt Ibby sees an identical
one on TV, Lee decides she must have it. Lee purchases it from the owner of a
Salem antique shop. The next day, Lee returns to the shop only to find the
owner, Shea Tolliver, dead on the floor.
The bureau was once owned by a woman who was murdered.
With Shea Tolliver's death, people begin to wonder if the
bureau is cursed. Lee doesn't believe in curses but she
does wonder if Shea discovered something in one of the
drawers that led to her death.
With the bureau in her new bedroom, Lee gets busy with her
summer job. Since her classes are out, she accepts a job
acquiring props for the plays the drama department
will be putting on this summer.
Lee saves the thrill of finding the hidden compartments to
share with her boyfriend, Pete. Since Pete is investigating
the death of Shea, the search is postponed. When they get
around to finding the contents of the drawers, the clues
will further the investigation. Lee starts dreaming about
the murder of the original owner of the bureau and a
missing diamond.
What she and Pete discover will re-open the
investigation of a twenty year old murder. LOOK BOTH WAYS is
the third in the Witchy City mysteries. The stories just
keep getting better. This book keeps the reader guessing
as possibilities are investigated. Lee is learning to
control her gifts and her dreams play a direct role in
discovering the killer.
In Salem, Massachusetts, there are secret everywhere--
even in the furniture. . .
When Lee Barrett spots the same style oak bureau she once
had as a child on the WICH-TV show, Shopping Salem, she
rushes to the antiques shop and buys the piece. Just like
the beloved bureau she lost in a fire, this one has
secret compartments. It also comes with an intriguing
history--it was purchased in an estate sale from a home
where a famous local murder took place.
The day after the bureau is delivered, Lee returns to the
antiques shop and finds the owner dead. The police
suspect the shop owner's unscrupulous business partner,
but Lee wonders if the murder is connected to her new
furniture. At least part of the answer may be revealed
through a mirror in the bureau, tarnished and blackened,
allowing Lee to tap into her psychic visions. Using this
bureau of investigation, Lee may be able to furnish her
policeman beau with the evidence needed to catch the
killer--before the next one to be shut up is her. . .
