Was she another Sherlock Holmes? - She slept with an angelic look on her face, but Margaret Webster knew her precocious niece, Caitlin, was no angel. Especially when she was hell-bent on proving her stepfather was plotting a ghoulish murder.

But what Margaret thought was a harmless child's imagination soon turned into a deadly nightmare. A nightmare that had started with a fortuneteller's predictions about the child and a black-haired man.

Then Jake McCall arrived, and took Margaret's breath away. Suddenly, one prediction had come true. With his dark hair and equally dark identity, Jake was a living, chilling reminder that anything was possible. Even the fact that maybe Margaret's niece was right. Dead right.

Ms. McCann's debut is an entertaining whodunit with just the right balance of intrigue and romance. Caitlin is a superstar character, very well written and thoroughly believable as the precocious "master detective". Margaret and Jake make for a great couple. Though Jake is a hunky 6'3", he isn't portrayed as a super alpha, he's more supportive than take charge. Margaret admits she's out of her depth, both with Caitlin's antics and with the evil lurking about. There are some editing booboo's that pulled me out of the story, but for the most part I was eagerly turning the pages to see what would happen next.--FictionDB
