Slow-Cooker Duels and Broken Rules: A Good-Hearted Fake Psychic Cozy Mystery
A Fish Fry. A Chili Contest. A murder.
Just an average weekend for a fake psychic sleuth…
Brianna Breen is the last person Olivia Twist expected to see on her doorstep—especially in disguise and seeking help. But Brianna’s cousin is missing, and she thinks it’s because he has proof of a murder.
She also thinks Madame Mystic, aka Olivia, can “see” what the police can’t.
However, Olivia’s ex-fiancé knows she doesn’t have a mystic bone in her body—and he insists a criminal element makes this case too dangerous.
When he convinces Brianna to go elsewhere for help, the challenge is on.
Determined to find the missing cousin first, Olivia and her trusty sidekick soon find themselves at a slow-cooker chili contest, only to learn…
…Olivia’s ex might just be right.

Mystical revelations!
A fun and entertaining story with Olivia once again investigating a murder in disguise as Madame Mystic. Her mystical powers are cleverly disguised, but surprisingly accurate based on her observation skills and the contributions of her good friend Annie. The plot has lots of twists and turns and the guilty party is cleverly revealed at the end. Definitely not who I expected!! I enjoyed this book and can easily recommend it to others.

These books are always so delightful. The characters were fun, this book in particular had a lot of twists I didn’t see coming, and I love learning about the deeper meaning behind people’s actions. I finished the book with a smile on my face and am so excited to read the next adventure! All of the books in this series are clean (meaning no violence or anything graphic).
I received an advanced copy of this book and am reviewing it willingly.

Madame Mystic Envisions You Reading This Series
Another enjoyable read as Olivia Twist aka Madame Mystic, with help from GG, Annie, and Jake, continues on her redemption project. How fishy are things at the fishing camp resort? Are all the employees ex-cons? Not only is this series fun, but it’s quite educational about personalities.
