Fantasy romance mystery

Since accepting the cursed glasses bequeathed by her Great Aunt Daphne giving her the gift of clairvoyance, Sophie Carrell is being lauded as the hottest clairvoyant in town – a psychic medium with talent and looks! Her acting days are long gone but now she has a whole new set of dramas.
Sophie must choose a protector without causing a war between ancient families, and she must decide if she will cross the line and lose her heart to the detective she is helping, Murdoch Ashcroft. Not that Murdoch has declared his feelings but the encounters she is having with him in her dream world are enough to make her blush in his presence of a daytime. There’s just one small problem, Murdoch is the Raven—from the enemy Ravenhood line—and she is his prey.
But it’s not the return of Murdoch’s former lover wanting to rekindle a romance – a witch who uses her power to shapeshift to her advantage – or the men vying to be Sophie’s protector in this new generation, that will separate Sophie from Murdoch. That is all Sophie’s own doing when she makes a mistake that only the cursed can make.
Love has no bounds but passion can be deadly in the third volume of The Clairvoyant’s Glasses.

Fate comes to call in the fourth and final volume of The Clairvoyant's Glasses.

Since accepting the cursed glasses bequeathed by her Great Aunt Daphne giving her the gift of clairvoyance, Sophie Carrell made the decision to give up her acting career and embrace the opportunities that came her way - helping the police, guiding her clients, and being in demand as the best and hottest clairvoyant in town.

But in the love stakes, Sophie's past has come back to haunt her. A generational love story - a love triangle - between Sophie, Murdoch the Raven, and Nikolas the shapeshifter, has emerged in the current generation and there is more at stake than just hearts being broken. For the first time in history, the descendant of a powerful witch and the cursed glass recipient are one in the same - Sophie - and her enemy, the Raven can't be with her, or without. But the Raven is not her only enemy, and not her only lover.

Miss Phoebe Astin and her brothers, Julius and Ambrose, lead an unconventional life working in the family funeral business – The Economic Undertaker. But Phoebe is not just a talented mortician, she is a medium for the spirit world, and often enjoys the company of her clients before they move on to the next world.

When a gentleman lingers behind before passing over to the other side and begs her to investigate his murder, Phoebe contacts her brother’s friend, Detective Harland Stone, to explain her concerns. Fortunately, the detective – who is new in town and making his mark – has an open mind and accepts that Phoebe communicates with the dead, but is fixed on finding the evidence to support her claims.

It is not long before another body, that of a young woman, is found buried under the hearthstone in a small family home and the likely villain is the very same man who Phoebe’s ghost claimed was responsible for his death. Detective Stone is racing against the clock to find the villain and to prevent any further deaths from those that the villain may love or con into marriage.

Meanwhile, Julius Astin is doing his best to avoid the persistent mothers and flirting daughters who manage to find a way to corner him, and his younger brother, Ambrose, has lost his heart to Phoebe’s friend and reporter, Miss Lilly Lewis, who only has eyes for Julius.
There is murder, love and mystery afoot, and it appears that for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting a crime go unpunished!

Miss Phoebe Astin of The Economic Undertaker is not just a talented mortician, but a medium for the spirit world and often enjoys the company of her clients before they move on to the next world.

When her funeral director brothers, Julius and Ambrose, bring the deceased Mrs Henriette Tochborn to her workroom, there is much interest as the lady was quite well known for her tragedy – twenty years prior her child was kidnapped and never found.

Prior to her death, to mark the 20th anniversary, Mrs Tochborn placed an advertisement in the paper requesting information, or for her child, if he was still alive, to come forth. Two men responded – a butcher and an asylum inmate – claiming to be that very child. Unfortunately, illness took Mrs Tochborn’s life before their claims could be tested. But that’s not stopping the claimants from trying for their rightful inheritance.

Phoebe is surprised when Mrs Tochborn appears in spirit form asking Phoebe for help. The deceased lady still has work to do amongst the living and now having crossed over to the other side, Mrs Tochborn knows the truth of what happened to her son.

Working with Detective Harland Stone who has faith in Phoebe’s visions and a keen interest in the lady herself, and journalist, Miss Lilly Lewis, a case that has been cold for 20 years is suddenly warming up.

Meanwhile, Julius and Ambrose Astin struggle to maintain their professional undertaker countenance at a funeral that goes awry, and Julius’s affection for a certain lady becomes hard to ignore.

There is murder, love and mystery afoot, and it appears that for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting a crime go unpunished!

Miss Phoebe Astin of The Economic Undertaker has applied her mortician skills to many faces, but a beautiful young debutante, Miss Daisy Dorchester, needed little work, or so Phoebe thought. When the debutante’s spirit appears to her, insisting she was murdered and demanding Phoebe do something about it, Phoebe agrees. She has, after all, helped many of her ghostly clients before they move on to the next world.

It soon comes to light that Daisy's death is connected to the priest from St Patrick's Parish and a young gentleman suitor with an engagement ring in his pocket; Daisy had boasted to the debutantes of a secret love.

Phoebe finds time is running out as the debutante will soon be laid to rest, but her brothers Julius and Ambrose, Detective Harland Stone, journalist friend Miss Lilly Lewis, and her dear friend Kate who took a portrait of the debutante the day before her death, are on the case.
Unfortunately, Daisy appears to have more enemies than friends and is fast making Phoebe one with her demands, requiring Julius to step in and reveal a side of himself he had to date kept hidden.

But justice must be served, and for the Astin family, being dead is no excuse for letting crime go unpunished!
