THE
WAKEFIELD DISTURBANCE
Lara
Wakefield receives messages from the dead. Her latest “client” is
a murdered young girl who wants to be put to rest. The girl’s
killer, however, objects. Can Lara find the girl’s body without
becoming the next victim?
Private investigator Stuart Manning wants
nothing to do with supernatural phenomena. A retainer of $50,000
overcomes his reluctance. Lara’s innate ability, integrity, and
beauty cause him to have second thoughts about psychics, while deadly
occurrences cause him to believe the little girl’s murderer is still
hanging around. How can Stuart protect Lara when the killer is always
one step ahead?

REVIEW:
4
Cups! This is an interesting suspense tale with three
good main characters. Stuart is a tortured ex-cop who feels responsible
for his partner's death. Lara is cursed by her gift and wishes it would go
away, and Chrissy is an unwanted and neglected child who befriends the both of
them. The rest of the cast... add a bit of comic relief. The plot
itself is fun to read with elements of suspense, romance and the paranormal.
The dialogue is engaging... There is a good amount of suspense and fine
love scenes also in this very enjoyable story. Reviewed by Maura Frankman for
Coffee Time Romance
