Customer Reviews

good escape

I recently finished Body of Intuition, a mysteryabout a body-mind workshop in Marin County, California, a place famous for spiritual/body classes andseminars. I gratefully flipped to a front list many times to keep the numerous characters straight and it wasa big help. Body of Intuition kept me page-turning(and laughing) through the last page with the whimsicaldoings of Cally Lazar. This book was light and funny. I think I've discovered a new escape from reality--a Claire Daniels book.

Dack & Criminy Got to Go

I enjoyed the books throughly and Ms. Daniels is a gifted writer. I agree with all of the other comments. Ms. Daniels if you're listening, please get rid of those made up words. They don't add anything to the plot and had kind of a negative effect on the flow of the words. I hope you make this a series.

My Kind of Whodunit

Body of Intuition by Claire Daniels (Berkley Prime Crime) is my kind of whodunit. The plot was intriguing, the clues fair (not too easy, not too hard), the charcters wonderfully developed and unique. And then there is the protagonist, Cally Lazar. If she wasn't fictional, I'd marry her myself. She is a witty, lively, smart, and good-hearted alternative healer who uses all of her skills to find a murderer at an ill-fated and sometimes hysterically funny intimacy seminar. I read the book in one sitting. And now I want to see the sequel. I rate both Cally and Body of Intuition five-star delights.

creative New Age psychic

Cally Lazar is a recovering lawyer who joined a twelve-step recovery program to make sure she doesn't fall back into practicing jurisprudence. After she quit the legal profession, she became a masseuse. With some of her patients, she sees auras that enable her to know what is wrong and how to heal the patient. Cally works with Tricia Snell, whose deceased husband insists he did not commit suicide but was murdered. Tricia convinces Cally to attend an intimacy workshop at the Inn at Fiebre where the same attendees will be present. She agrees to go and her friends Warren Kapp and Dee Dee Lee accompany her. When they arrive and start questioning people, it seems everyone disliked Seager Snell and had a reason to kill him, but the murderer intends to make Cally the next victim if she doesn't stop snooping around.Claire Daniels has written a creative New Age psychic mystery staring a heroine that it is impossible not to like. The author writes in a breezy easy going and humorous manner so that readers don't feel overwhelmed from the complex plot with numerous viable suspects. This is the first installment in what looks to be a unique hit series. Let's hope in the next book, the author clues the reader in to why the protagonist quit practicing law though perhaps Cally was simply ahead of her time and just frustrated by judges Determining No to Aura-ology as supporting evidence.Harriet Klausner

Healing laughter, a mystery package--Cane Fu even

I enjoyed this book. I found it a holistic prescription for fun-enjoyable side effects including laughter and a riveting story. Claire Daniels has provided a journey into the heart of murder at a "tantric couples" workshop with her heroine, medical intuitive, Cally Lazar, yet the book also made me laugh out loud. Those who enjoyed Jaqueline Girdner's Kate Jasper mysteries will find a similar deft, light-hearted humor (E.g., I adored Cane Fu, the discipline Cally's brother, a martial arts teacher, has created to empower those with canes). The details of heroine's energy healing practice were fascinating and the rustic Northern California setting was fun too--gotta love those goats in the backyard!
