Reporter Nicole Sullivan decides a story lies in an old, unsolved murder when she finds out that the house where the crime occurred is haunted. A renowned psychic is called in to lend a hand but something goes terribly wrong. Another girl is murdered in exactly the same way as the first victim and a warning is delivered that three more lives will be taken. Working with new romance, Police Chief Joe Franconi, Nicole attempts to stop the killer before she, too, becomes a victim. Very good mystery; interesting locale and characters.

The body count rises, and so does the danger to Nicole, who is attacked, barely escaping with her life. She and Joe must team up, as it becomes clear that the killer has set his sights on her as the next victim.
Good book with a surprising ending; typical of robard's books. Worth the read.

Pawleys Island, South Carolina is the newest romantic suspense setting for Karen Robard's book Superstition. Nicole Sullivan, a TV reporter, sets up a seance in a home that had a great tragedy happen in it. Three young girls had been brutally killed and Nicole's mother, a renowned psychic, attempted to make contact with them for Nicole's TV show. Things go horribly awry and one member of the TV crew, a young woman, ends up dead. So begins this newest romantic suspense. Police Chief Joe Franconi and Nicole become better acquainted as Nicole tries to find out more about the original murders and herself becomes a target. Karen Robards always tells a great story.

Loved this book. A mystery that is anything but predictable. Set on a South Carolinian island a TV reporter returns home to investigate a 15 year-old murder of three teenage girls only to find herself in the killer's sights. The police chief gets more than he bargained for as well. So much for a sleepy little southern island.
Awesome book. I couldn't put it down. It has suspense,the supernatural, romance, and mystery. Robards proves she still has it.
