About this listen

Most folks associate the city of Salem, Massachusetts, with witches, but for Lee Barrett it's home. This October she's returned to her hometown - where her beloved Aunt Ibby still lives - to interview for a job as a reporter at WICH-TV. But the only opening is for a call-in psychic to host the late-night horror movies. It seems the previous host, Ariel Constellation, never saw her own murder coming.

Lee reluctantly takes the job, but when she starts seeing real events in the obsidian ball she's using as a prop, she wonders if she might really have psychic abilities. To make things even spookier, it's starting to look like Ariel may have been an actual practicing witch - especially when O'Ryan, the cat Lee and Aunt Ibby inherited from her, exhibits some strange powers of his own.

With Halloween fast approaching, Lee must focus on unmasking a killer - or her career as a psychic may be very short lived.

It's a shame...

When authors make the protaginist/heroine oblivious to the glaringly obvious guilty parties and their motives. I still have almost 2 hours to go before the end of the book and I'm not sure I can finish because I am so annoyed with the heroine's inability to see who, what and why! Maybe the author has made the clues too easy for me, as the "reader", to see what's going on, I'm not a brilliant detective, and yet it's so transparent. Anyway, if you want a mildly engaging who-done-it, this could be the book for you, especially as it's included with membership.
