Publisher's summary

Could you commit murder to complete an antique set? Looks like someone did!

Marty's a recently divorced antique and art appraiser who moves from the Midwest to live with her sister in High Desert, California, just outside of Palm Springs. Since their early childhood days, her sister has always possessed unexplained psychic abilities that often enable her to predict future events.

An antique appraisal in the home of a recently murdered woman puts Marty at the center of a search for the killer. Who did it? The woman’s son? The well-known collector of antique Meissen china? A professional art and antique thief? The owner of Mai Tai Mama’s restaurant? And just what part did the collection of Meissen china Monkey Band figurines play in the murder?

Detective Jeff Combs is just as determined to develop a relationship with Marty and her dog, Duke, as he is to solve the crime. Will the psychic abilities of Marty’s sister help her find the killer?

This is the first book in the popular High Desert Cozy Mystery series by a two-time USA Today best-selling author.

A great start to a new Diane Harmon series

Marty is a psychic and after her divorce she moves with her sister Laurie who has been living in the desert it starts a new life. This new life includes her antique appraisal business and unlike before Marty will accompany her and turn it into a sleuth thing operation. This book is a great mystery with a few LOL moments this is not your sugary sweet cozy mystery, but a cozy mystery for adults in those with an IQ. Although there is foreshadowing unless you yourself a psychic you’ll never guess who did it. I love this book as I do all of Diane’s books and can’t wait for more in this Siri’s.

Excellent

Her stories are always interesting, this has to do with an art appraiser and Meissen Monkey Bank collection and murder.. good characters and good narration make these enjoyable to listen. Well done and enjoyed. Given audio for my voluntary review
