Resumen del Editor
From the best-selling author of the famous Mrs. Pollifax series comes another delightfully eccentric and sage female sleuth - the exotic Madame Karitska. Although she is a genuine countess, Marina Elena Provovnitchek Gaylord Von Domm Karitska is foremost a psychic. When one of her clients turns up dead, Madame Karitska makes the acquaintance of Detective-Lieutenant Pruden, and an uncanny partnership is born. Madame Karitska forms images with the psychic vibrations she picks up from personal objects. Her shocking visions are at odds with outward appearances and Detective Pruden finds it difficult to believe in them. But as Madame Karitska uses her amazing powers to help him solve case after dangerous case, even the skeptic becomes convinced. With The Clairvoyant Countess, Dorothy Gilman has used her own amazing powers to create a character who is both awe-inspiring and lovable. Ruth Ann Phimister’s keen sense of timing and characterization let you too believe in the wonder that is Madame Karitska.

Historia
When Betsy Devonshire arrived in Excelsior, Minnesota, all she wanted was to visit her sister Margot and get her life in order. She never dreamed her sister would give her a place to stay and a job at her needlecraft shop. In fact, things had never looked so good - until Margot was murdered. In a town this friendly, it's hard to imagine who could have committed such a horrible act, but Betsy has a few ideas. There's an ex-employee who wants to start her own needlework store. And there's the landlord who wanted Margot out. Now Betsy's putting together a list of motives and suspects....

Historia
It was stolen from a New Orleans grave - the centuries-old bust of an evil man, a demonic man. It’s an object desired by collectors - and by those with wickedness in their hearts. One day, its current owner shows up at Danni Cafferty’s antiques shop on Royal Street, the shop she inherited from her father. But before Danni can buy the statue, it disappears, the owner is found dead…and Danni discovers that she’s inherited much more than she realized. In the store is a book filled with secret writing: instructions for defeating evil entities.

Historia
The unthinkable has happened in a small community outside of San Francisco. A series of shocking murders has occurred, the victims far too innocent and defenseless. For Detective Kate Martinelli, just promoted to Homicide and paired with a seasoned cop who's less than thrilled to be handed a green partner, it's a difficult case that just keeps getting harder. Then the detectives receive what appears to be a case-breaking lead.

Genevieve knows all about nightmares. She herself survived two months as a psychopath's prisoner. And now this new menace stalks the city. Spooked by the bizarre slayings, she turns to P.I. Joe Connolly, her past rescuer, friend and...hopefully something more, if he would just quit avoiding her. At first Joe isn't even sure there is a case. But the body count rises, and it's clear that a twisted killer is on the loose. Even more unsettling is the guidance he starts receiving from beyond the grave.

The first audiobook which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man.

Historia
Amelia Peabody embarks on her first Egyptian adventure armed with unshakable self-confidence, a journal for her thoughts, and, of course, a sturdy umbrella. On her way, she rescues Evelyn Barton-Forbes, who has been "ruined" and abandoned on the streets of Rome by her lover. With a typical disregard for convention, Amelia promptly hires her fellow countrywoman as a companion and takes her to Cairo, where strange visitations and a botched kidnapping convince Amelia that there is a plot afoot to harm Evelyn.

Historia
The year is 1920: Flying in the face of convention, legendary American adventuress Beryl Helliwell never fails to surprise and shock. The last thing her adoring public would expect is that she craves some peace and quiet. The humdrum hamlet of Walmsley Parva in the English countryside seems just the ticket. And, honestly, until America comes to its senses and repeals Prohibition, Beryl has no intention of returning stateside and subjecting herself to bathtub gin.

A glimpse into another time
Another well done book from Dorothy Gilman. It's almost a history lesson. Well constructed, engaging and frankly charming.

Such insight and understanding of Human Nature
Dorothy Gilman is a master storyteller. Not only are her plots imaginative and interesting, but her deep sense of human needs and desires-
and understanding of the human condition lead to surprising insights that make her work more than entertaining.. they become works of wisdom.

Not as good as the Mrs. Pollifax series
What did you like best about The Clairvoyant Countess? What did you like least?
The Clairvoyant Countess is essentially a story that contains several smaller stories or mystery cases that get solved. The Countess is aided by a police officer, Pruden. The police officer figures heavily in the stories and I would consider him the main character, not the Countess. The Characters in this book are not well developed. I started to get bored until the last hour of the book. The last case in the book was well developed and interesting. I think I enjoyed it more because the Countess and the police officer were working alongside each other, the case was a longer story and the plot itself more interesting than any of the other cases in this book. Overall, an average read. If you are a fan of Dorothy Gilman, you will want to listen to it. I do not reqret using my credit on this book but I would not listen to it again.
Would you be willing to try another book from Dorothy Gilman? Why or why not?
I am a fan of Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax series. I have also listened to other books by this author ( Tightrope Walker, Nuns in the Closet). Clairvoyant Countess was just an average audiobook.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
The narrator read the book well. It is just a matter of what type of voice one likes to listen to. Ruth Ann Phimister would not be one of my top choices to listen to.

Remarkable and captivating
As a Mrs. Pollifax fan I was afraid this book would be a disappointment. Instead, I found it captivating and profoundly thought provoking. This Countess is both charming and courageous

intriguing, enthralling, clean enjoyment
After reading all of the Pollifax adventures, I took a break but found myself wanting more feom this wonderful author. This story did not disappoint! I found myself eased into the skeptical world of the clairvoyance in a believable manner. I loved the characters and the building climax. I felt my heart racing a bit at the ending resolution (or was that my cup of chai?). I felt a bit of giddy glee with the finish of the story. sometimes it's hard to feel totally satisfied with how a story ends but I loved this one. The narrator wasn't quite as good as the one from the Pollifax series but still did a great job of keeping me captivated.

Clairvoyant solves unsolvable crimes?
I was on tenterhooks with each case. I love the Countess and her positive outlook on life and people. The suspense was terrific! I wanted to grab the book and read faster, but this is an audiobook. The narrator was perfect. So glad this is part of my library now!
Dorothy Gilman’s skillful writing has done it again. So many twists and turns. What a delight!

Dorothy Gilman AGAIN!!
I read this book years ago and loved it and I am so sorry that the second book was never put on audible. Not just an old friend but a good friend/book. Excellent reader!

Another Dorothy Gilman Delight
I fell in love with Gilman’s fresh and vibrant writing in the Mrs Pollifax books, and I am finding many of her other books are similarly delightful. This book is not heavy on character development or plot. It’s more of a series of vignettes that intertwine just enough and feel appropriate for the spontaneous nature of a sixth sense. The brilliant narrator brings you right into the moment and makes you feel the warmth and kindness of the countess and a lovely satisfaction when she helps people. Lovely book.
