Crafted Murder: A Psychic Mystery (A Medium with a Heart Paranormal Mystery Series Book 5)
By Erica Whelton
When murders are perfectly planned, only a medium can expose the truth.
It’s a peaceful Saturday morning, and Joanna Webber is watching her adopted daughter Oakley play with their rescue dog Chewy. But peace never lasts long for a psychic medium. When the spirit of Jack Reynolds appears claiming his death at Birdsong Senior Living Community was murder, not natural causes, Joanna is pulled into her most complex case yet.
What starts with one suspicious death quickly becomes a pattern. Jack insists he was poisoned, and when his friend Ruben Harper dies under similar circumstances just days later, Joanna knows someone at Birdsong is getting away with murder. The victims looked like natural deaths from old age. No one suspected a thing. But the dead know the truth, and they’re demanding justice.
Now officially consulting for the Creekview Police Department, Joanna teams up with Detective Clint Hartley to investigate carefully crafted murders disguised as peaceful passings. With her parents Charlie and Babs moving into Birdsong, the case becomes personal. There’s drama among the residents, with Odette, Robin, Phyllis, and others all fighting over the deceased men. Fingers point in every direction. But when a mass poisoning strikes the community through contaminated food, dozens of residents fall ill and the investigation explodes.
Someone at Birdsong has been befriending wealthy residents with no family, gaining their trust, and inheriting their fortunes after carefully planned murders. Every death looked natural. Every will was updated. And the killer is closer than anyone suspects. As Joanna channels messages from the victims and races to protect her parents, she discovers the murderer has been hiding in plain sight all along.
But this investigation will put Joanna herself in the crosshairs when the killer realizes she’s getting too close to the truth.
Perfect for fans of cozy paranormal mysteries with heart, senior living intrigue, and deadly deception.
