The aptly named Crystal Haven is the destination for tourists seeking psychics, séances, and the promise of contacting the spirit world. In this small western Michigan town, everyone knows the Fortune family. Rose is gifted with tarot card readings. Her sister, Vi, is a self-proclaimed pet psychic. And Rose’s daughter Clyde is…
A cop. A cop on leave from Ann Arbor, more specifically, who’s come home to kooky Crystal Haven to reevaluate her life. Mom and Aunt Vi can’t wait for Clyde to finally embrace her own psychic gifts and join the family business. Clyde would prefer the low-stress lifestyle of a dog walker and the low-key company of her nephew, Seth.
But when a local psychic is killed, leaving behind a traumatized Shih Tzu, it seems to be in the cards for Clyde to get involved. With her old flame Mac leading the investigation, that may prove awkward. Whether she uses her skills as a cop or her long-denied psychic abilities, it’s up to Clyde to divine a killer’s identity before someone else suffers more misfortune.

Series: A Family Fortune Mystery (#1)
The first thing I noticed when I started this book was that it wasn't an easy read Cozy Mystery like I've read before.

This is one first-rate new cozy series! I've read some recently that were mediocre at best, but this one, along with another I read recently that had animals as a part of the tale, are very good. Clyde is an excellent, fully drawn character who is complex. Mac, the love interest, has substance an...
Picked this one out at the library without fully reading the description. Just saw that it was first in a series and set in Michigan. Didn't notice the dogs or that it's a paranormal cozy. Not crazy about mysteries that have animal themes and kind of burnt out on paranormal, but this one worked for ...
A very good, well-written first in what could be an excellent new series. This is not a quick, light read. It's not dark or depressing, but there's a maturity to the writing that you don't find in a lot of cozies, especially the paranormal ones. That's not a criticism of cozies - I'm a huge fan - ...
This is the first book in the Family Fortune Mystery series by Dawn Eastman. This is a new to me author, that I discovered via the Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours. I really liked the idea of a family of psychics juxtaposed with the logical cop, throw in a small town you know is full of wacky and z...
