Shady Grove Psychic Mysteries

Aly doesn't believe in psychics. Too bad she just had a vision. Future scientists don't have visions. Aly's got enough on her plate, with finishing her degree and taking care of her nephew and starting her new job at the antique store while drooling over the owner's gorgeous son. No visions. Alas, the universe doesn't care what Aly believes. When she turns 21, she starts to feel psychic impressions left on objects. A disorienting power for someone surrounded by antiques. Then cranky customer Earl is killed, and Aly's new boss Olive is the prime suspect, not to mention the only person who can help Aly understand her new gifts. Who hated Earl enough to kill? Police would rather make a quick arrest than investigate, so it's up to Aly to clear Olive's name. Shady Grove is reeling from the first murder in decades, but no one seems to know anything. If Aly gets her hands on the right object, she might be able to see what happened. Can she learn to control her visions before the killer sets their sights on her?

Just when Aly thinks she understands her psychic powers, a new mystery puts them to the test. Life in Shady Grove is looking up. Aly's excited to start classes at Maloney College, she loves her job, and her unrequited crush might be starting to turn into an actual flirtation. If only she could figure out how her sister-in-law died and help her brother move on, everything would be awesome. Then, Aly's academic advisor and favorite professor turns up dead. Professor Zimm was a beloved teacher. Who would want to kill her? There's the colleague who could make tenure in her absence; the athlete who resents having to retake the class; the husband who's never around; the rich girl who's determined to get an A at all costs. With no shortage of suspects, if Aly can't narrow it down, the campus killer may never be brought to justice.

A Seer in the City… While visiting an estate sale to pick up new items for Missing Pieces, Aly gets hit with a surprise: the elderly homeowner didn't have a heart attack--she was murdered. Aly's got the evidence in her hands, and the killer is offering to sell it to her. Time to make a deal, then call the police. If only anyone believed her. Miriam Peabody was in her 70s and appeared to die of natural causes. Police found no evidence of foul play, but Aly knows what she saw. Worse, she's pretty sure the killer has powers of their own. As she seeks evidence to support her vision, someone is watching Aly's every move. They're always one step ahead. She needs to find concrete evidence to give the police before someone Miriam trusted gets away with murder.

Just when Aly finally identified her sister-in-law's killer, they got away-and they're not alone. Aly's on the case, but leads are few and far between. Meanwhile, another mystery arises: what do you get a psychic toddler for his fourth birthday? Aly wants to make her nephew's day, but the quest for the perfect gift skids to a halt when she finds the pet store trashed, a trail of blood, and the owner missing. To make matters worse, someone powerful has cursed the residents of Shady Grove. Aly's powers vanish, along with her brother's and Olive's. Without her psychic gifts, how will Aly track down Katrina's killer and save the pet store?

There's a killer on the loose, and they look exactly like Aly. When Aly gets a vision of herself murdering the town's beloved yet crotchety baker, she's baffled. Obviously, that never happened. But then police arrive at her house with a warrant. If she didn't kill Tony, why does she have his baker's hat? Then Tony turns up alive, and things go from strange to supernatural. Where did that vision come from? Aly's never seen the future before-only the past. At first she thinks the vision was a trick, sent as a distraction by the same person who killed her sister-in-law. But as she works to stop them, Aly discovers that her vision of Tony might not have been a lie so much as a premonition.
