This is the third Pet Psychic Mystery series book by Ms. Esposito that I have read. I really enjoy this series as the author is quite adept @ keeping the storyline @ an interesting pace while maintaining my attention to the degree that I don't want to put the book down until finished. The main character, Darwin, has "special powers" as does her immediate family members. She has tried to run away from this fact for several years b/c she knows what others think of this "gift". Now living in the tourist town of St. Pete, she is compelled to accept her powers & to use them for good & to help others. She has fallen in love with a police detective named Will which really complicates things as she invents ways to inform him of crimes, usually involving murder, & how to reveal the culprit/s. One of her powers is being able to channel events through animals of how these crimes are committed. This story tells us about a Golden Retriever show dog named Goldie who is injured when her owner is murdered. Of course Darwin is able to channel some of the events that occurred through Goldie. Darwin also gets an assist from her sister Willow who is visiting @ about the time this event takes place. It gets interesting when Darwin finally admits to her police detective boyfriend that she has helped him solve these crimes with the aid of her special abilities. Getting the answers to the who, what, where & why of these crimes is revealed into a believable tale by Ms. Esposito. I'm already looking forward to book # 4.
