Books Like The Imperfect Psychic

Although psychic abilities are commonly dismissed as pseudoscience with no proof of existence, there has been no shortage of people claiming to possess these gifts. From communication with spirits to predicting the future, the powers attributed to psychics date back to ancient times. Of course, these extraordinary powers also make for exciting stories, which is why psychics often play a central role in cozy mystery novels. For example, in The Imperfect Psychic by Ashley King, a psychic named Charlotte Vale decides to follow her forever dream of running a bed and breakfast. Things go well until a shocking murder puts Charlotte right in the middle of the crime. To keep her bed and breakfast, her clients, and her future, Charlotte must use her often inaccurate psychic gifts to try and solve the case.
