Great 3rd series book

I really have enjoyed this series. the characters are well thought out and it is a captivating tale. Will definetly purchase more in the future, I also recommend her books wrote under the name of India Ink.

evil lurks ...

3rd in the Chintz'N China series featuring Emerald O'Brien, this is a series I buy off the shelf. Emerald, a medium, is a down-to-earth single mom raising her nerdy, star-gazing daughter and precocious son, who is also a medium while trying to run her china/tea shop where she also gives Tarot readings. Emerald gets drawn into the investigation of a body found in the woods when her friend asks her to check it out for anything supernatural. Emerald and her friends - and family - end up stumbling across a much greater mystery than anyone can imagine, while also laying the groundwork for future stories. Most of you know how much I love my psychic stories, and this author is one of my favorites in the paranormal mysteries. She can't seem to write quickly enough for me. The first 2 are Ghost of a Chance and Legend of the Jade Dragon. December will bring us A Harvest a Bones.

Another Winner

I put fives stars only because there's not a way to do 100 stars! Once again Yasmine Galenorn has kept me under her spell for hours on end I simply could NOT put this book down. It was SO good! This third book of the series is the best yet, in my opinion. But I do hope this is not the last we hear of Emerald O'Brien et al. I've grown so very fond of them!

A rising star

This is the third in the Chintz'n'China mysteries, and the best yet. Yasmine Galenorn has tapped a whole new vein of paranormal mysteries with this series, and she writes at a cracking pace. Her characters are fully human - at least, those on this dimension are fully human - and engaging, and her settings are beautifully realised. Her spooks are satisfyingly spooky, and she keeps the tension mounting all the way through. I look forward to the next volume in this series.

refreshingly innovative paranormal mystery

Emerald O'Brien didn't know when she moved from Seattle to Chiqetaw that the town rests on a psychic power field and since Emerald has a strong psychic sense she is open to all the paranormal activity that surrounds the town. When her friend Jimbo O'Brien asks Emerald to look for his biker friend Scar who disappeared without a trace, she agrees to help him though there are many stories about the Klakatat monster(similar to Bigfoot) who appears from time to time in the Klickavail woods where he was last seen. Emerald, her best friend the medium Murray and Jimbo enter the woods; the psychic uses her sixth sense to locate Scar who was murdered. The coroner rules he was killed by a cougar but Emerald and Murray sense it was a human who murdered him even though there are many elementals in the area who could have been responsible for the deed. When another biker is killed in the same place, Gordon, another psychic, is arrested but Emerald's worst enemy asks for her help in proving her cousin's innocence. Since Emerald believe George not guilty, she sets out to prove that the police arrested the wrong man and she won' let the Klakatat monster or the elementals stop her. MURDER UNDER a Mystic MOON is a refreshingly innovative paranormal mystery that will appeal to a wide range of mystery aficionados. The heroine is very frightened of what she sees and knows in the etheral world but she still uses her psychic powers to go the extra mile to see that justice prevails even if it means putting her own life in danger. Yasmine Galenorn is an author to keep an eye out as she is heading towards superstardom. Harriet Klausner
