After her divorce, forty-something Regina Cutter is determined to forge a new life for herself far from the ladies’ luncheon lifestyle she had once so ardently cultivated. She finds the opportunity when a well-beloved aunt’s death leaves her with the legacy of not only a townhouse in Boston but also a curiously suited career prospect. Like her aunt before her, Regina soon becomes the unofficial psychic consultant to the Boston police.

Detective Frank Devaney is troubled that, even after thirteen years, a man he put behind bars for the murder of a rising politician’s son is still proclaiming his innocence. Regina’s fledgling psychic talents are initially unable to prove anything, and Frank seems to lose interest as Boston rocks under a spate of serial killings. But curiosity, along with a niggling psychic sensation, compels Regina to investigate on her own, a task made doubly dangerous when both paranormal and predatory human elements make her the target of their wrath.

Cecelia Tishy successfully combines a modern-day murder mystery with a distinct and eerie paranormal atmosphere in Now You See Her. Central character Regina Cutter’s determination to uncover secrets of the past and avenge a miscarriage of justice is at once foolhardy and laudable, while the fortitude with which this forty-plus ex-society-wife remakes herself into a vital and useful part of society after divorce is more than praiseworthy. A Dante-quoting villain, a tough Harley street biker, a walk thorough Boston’s city history and some interesting information about Rastafarianism, together with wonderfully effective and spooky psychic phenomena, make this a deliciously perplexing paranormal puzzle. Hopefully readers won’t have to wait long to read the next installment in Regina’s supernatural adventures.
