Ghost of a Chance (Chintz and China Mystery Series #1) by Yasmine Galenorn

From Barnes & Noble

The Barnes & Noble Review
Chintz 'n China Tea Room owner Emerald O'Brien mixes the mundane complications of running a small business and coping with single parenthood with trances, Tarot readings, and seances. Emerald has been a medium since childhood and honed her psychic skills right along with her knowledge of fine china and tea. So, when a sorrowful ghost visits Emerald and pleads for help in proving she was murdered, Emerald quickly gets into the spirit of investigation. She gets the backup she needs from her two best friends (an unorthodox cop and a canny ex-model) and soon senses something special in her newly forged relationship with a friend of the murdered woman. Unfortunately, while she's dealing with the ordinary risks of trying to bring an unsuspected murderer to justice, Emerald has spiritual trouble to deal with as well. An astral nasty has tagged along with the gentle ghost who came to her for aid…and poses a terrifying threat, especially to Emerald's psychically gifted young son. Somehow, this unconventional supermom has to find a way to balance the cosmic scales while defending her family from physical and spiritual dangers and keeping the business they depend on in the black. The quirky amateur sleuth's matter-of-fact acceptance of her extraordinary circumstances adds a special charm to this exciting mystery series debut. Sue Stone
