Murder, a new home with a dark history, and psychics-sign me up! Rosie and Chad move into their new home that was willed to them by their uncle. The neighbors seem nice enough but Rosie has some reservations about the lack of privacy in the building with all of the cameras that are everywhere. Then Chad’s cousin is murdered and he becomes the prime suspect. Rosie’s devotion to her husband and his innocence is a testament to her strong character. This was a great story, fast-paced, and action packed. I love how engaging Unger’s writing style is for the characters. I thought I had the story figured out several times but then there was another twist to throw me off. Her attention to detail describing the old New York building had me wanting to know more about the old architecture. Great story! Definitely recommend!!
