I have become a Josh Lanyon fan and always enjoy his books. This one set in 1922 is interesting for it's setting and dual subjects. A newspaper reporter goes to investigate a series of grisly murders and meets a clairvoyant in the rooming house he's staying in. The action and the romance build quickly and the mystery is sustained throughout. I just thought the whole thing came to an end too quickly. But then there is always another Lanyon book to pick up and continue reading , His subjects and settings are so varied, there is something new every month or so it seems. .
