Description

Laura Valorian is an emergency room physician who, while attending a medical conference in Orlando, Florida, stumbles one evening across a victim of homicide—a woman she knows. The dead woman had hidden money in the nearby psychic town of Cassadaga—money that other people desperately wanted.

When Laura becomes a suspect in the crime, she and Alec Dupree, a private investigator and friend of hers, dive into the case to help police identify and trap the murderer. Then, another threat—a twisted nemesis from Laura’s past—challenges her in a deadly cat-and-mouse scavenger hunt across Orlando and Cassadaga. Now, with Alec comatose in a hospital ICU after being shot, Laura risks her life to bring down the killers. She’s aided in her perilous quests by a mysterious magpie that had bonded with her in Cassadaga.

"Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2022

This second installment of Dr. Valorian's adventures was even better than the first. The author included a perfect amount of his medical knowledge woven throughout the story. The Florida location added yet another layer of interest and nostalgia by inclusion of Cassadaga, Key West and, of course, many Orlando favorites including Disney. Hoping for a 3rd book in the series for more mystery and to find out what happens with my favorite sleuth couple, Laura and Alec. The story unfolds in layers at a nice pace to the point that you want to stay up all night and finish it. I highly recommend Magpies and Murder to the mystery lover."

I was drawn to this book by the front cover which I found to be so interesting and visually stunning. I wasnt disappointed by the story either, it was well written with enough medical know how and jargon to make it plausible without bogging it down, an interesting and gripping storyline and well developed characters. I also really l;iked the setting of the book and the descriptions were so vividly rich that sometimes I felt like I was between the pages living the story that just reading it.
It was unpredictable and twisty and I found it a really enjoyable read. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.
