​The sense of death is most in apprehension;
And the poor beetle that we tread upon,
In corporal sufferance feels a pang as great
As when a giant dies.
— William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure
          Ann Kinnear thought the job was just another sensing-for-hire ... until she realized that the woman in the Philadelphia townhouse was the victim of murder. Will Ann be able to bring the victim's killer to justice—or will she pay the ultimate price herself?
          Ann Kinnear has created a peaceful existence at her cabin in the Adirondack woods. But the calm is shattered after socialite Elizabeth Firth is reported missing. With few clues and fewer options, Detective Joe Booth calls upon Ann's spirit sensing abilities to help solve the mystery, and to uncover what Elizabeth's husband is hiding beneath his cloak of wealth and privilege.
          ​As Ann is drawn deeper into a web of lies and betrayal, will its fatal threads snare her as well?
          ​Find out now in Book 1 of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels!

          ​​​“Airtight. Crucial plot details lock into place in the denouement like the tumblers of a Diebold safe. The characters are clever, real, and enjoyable, but also organic, their emotional genuinely wrought; there is no formula for brilliant writing like this.”​ —​Robert Blake Whitehill, Screenwriter and Best-selling Author of The Ben Blackshaw Series
          ​​“A frighteningly meticulous villain and a formidable protagonist will have readers breezing through the pages.”​ ​—​Kirkus Reviews

For Book Clubs

I would love to make a virtual appearance at your book club! Just click on the About & Contact tab to get in touch.
Below are some questions to help spur book club discussion--THESE INCLUDE SPOILERS.
  • Considering that the reader knows “whodunit” early in the novel, how does the author create and maintain the suspense?
  • Is Biden Firth a sympathetic or unsympathetic character, and why? How about Elizabeth Firth?
  • Would you be interested in living in a home with a friendly spirit, as Mavis VanDyke wants to?
  • In what ways is Garrick’s relationship to Ann one of a mentor? In which ways a competitor?
  • How does Ann’s experience with Mike’s acceptance of her skill, and with Dan’s rejection of it, color how she interacts with the world?
  • How would you react if you had Ann’s skill?​​
Let me know of additional questions you come up with as you read the books!
