Leger's Dream
An elderly woman, claiming to be a psychic who can read tea leaves and tarot cards visits the hotel with a warning for Annabella about Leger himself and how he is not to be trusted. When Leger has a nightmare about Annabella where he is to blame for her untimely death, he begins to wonder if perhaps he really is bad luck. However, Lily is more concerned with the psychic's behaviour and uncovers a startling truth about her... Can Leger and Lily reveal the woman's true identity before it's too late?

The 18th and possibly final Leger story. I would have normally gobbled this one up months ago, but I kept holding off. For I knew, or heard of the author's pulling back from publishing. And I wanted to hold off on reading the possible last story.
This was a story tinged with sadness. Things coming to an end, families breaking apart, dreams of being the cause of the death for a loved one, the death of innocents. Well, strike that last s there (and add an 'an' before innocent).
I assume to drum up business, though it isn't explained, a psychic has been hired to do a thrice a week show. And business has, in fact, picked up, so much so that there's feelings that the McInnes family can't keep up. Or, at least, Hugh makes a comment like that, and Annabella is flustered, nervous, and fearful. To a certain extent because of 'misplaced' money, to a certain extent because the psychic has reminded Annabella about how much bad luck she seems to have had recently. The psychic pins the blame to a black cat. Namely Leger.
Meanwhile, Lily's rolling around depressed in the office. Batting at cables. Hunting a spider. Watching people visit the office late at night in a suspicious manner. Mostly, though, avoiding Bob the dog. Who still hates Lily for putting forth the idea that Carole might have been involved in a prior mystery. Bob is a very unforgiving dog.
Crimes are committed, mysteries are solved, people are killed (though it takes including dreams with real life to turn that from person to people), cats are fed and occasionally petted, and the 5th Leger Hotel Mystery wraps up, at the very least, the hotel mysteries.
