Description
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. . .

What a great paranormal cozy mystery! The lead character isn't a witch but she does have abilities that she uses to help her figure things out. The story was really good from start to finish and there's a whole slew of possible suspects that kept me guessing till the end. I enjoyed reading this and look forward to more from this author.
Librarian 235014
Maralee has the summer off from her teaching job and decides to fill her time with decorating her new home in her aunt's house. She also decides to volunteer to help find props for the plays the school is putting on. When she finds a bureau that is exactly like the one she had as a child she can't believe her luck. She is told the previous owner was killed but still immediately buys it and brings it to her home. But this bureau brings with it it's own secrets and a mystery.
Pete and Maralee start to believe her life may be in danger because of the bureau. Of course this only prods Maralee to start looking into things. As she starts to unravel the mystery her gift of scrying starts to get stronger.
I very much enjoyed this third book in the series and where things are going with Maralee and Pete. This book also included a recipe that I can't wait to try!
I was given an ARC by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Who wouldn't love a mystery with a missing pink diamond, a bureau that has secret compartments containing hidden items that add to the mystery and several characters who all seem to be capable of murder? Add to all of this some modern day witches and a main character who can look into black shiny objects and "see" things that happened previously.
I enjoyed reading this book, and I highly recommend it.

I don’t really like starting a book in a series that isn’t the first one. With a little reluctance, I went ahead and got this book because I liked the description of the book. I am so glad I did. The book was fun and engaging, the characters were great and I really liked all of them, especially the cat O’Ryan. The romance was not front-and-center, but it was still a presence: mystery is still the focus of the book. The mystery, too, was well-plotted and engaging. Since I found almost everything wonderful about this book, I am definitely going to buy the first two in the series to catch up. My conclusion is that anyone who likes a cozy mystery with a side of romance should definitely pick this series up. It is more than worth it!
Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Book for the free copy in exchange for an honest review. This review will also be posted on Goodreads.
