Sunny, the only daughter of well-to-do professionals, feels stifled in her parents home. Their overprotective actions stimulate her to move from New York to a small town, Divinity, where she buys a home and sets up a fortune-telling business.

The ancient Victorian house she buys comes with a large black-eyed cat that becomes a comforting roommate. Business, however, is slow. She is new in town and residents are not sure about seeking her advice. The town librarian does come and ask to have her fortune told. What Sunny sees is tragic and unexpected. The librarian is being murdered. When the murder actually occurs a few hours later Sunny is the prime suspect. As the story unfolds, Sunny meets Detective Mitch Stone who regards her as a potential murderess if only he can determine the motive. This is a well written cozy mystery. If you like cozies, curl up with this one and enjoy a quick read.
