I received a copy of The Check Your Luck Agency by Cara d'Bastian for review and I have no personal knowledge of the author.This story can definitely only work in Asia, as Ursula, an "investigator" for the Check Your Luck Agency is determining whether the clients are having good or bad luck or if something else is at work.  The premise is that it is paranormal, but so far Ursula has found only human-caused events.  Her first cases are mildly entertaining, but things get intersting when she is supposed to help with a television show and we find out that she really can see the dead.the plot developed a little late in the book, but I find myself waiting for the next story to see if she can develop her powers.
