"The Clairvoyant Countess”   by Dorothy Gilman

Review #71

Exotic Madame Karitska is a genuine countess, but is foremost a psychic. When one of her clients turns up dead, Madame Karitska makes the acquaintance of Detective Lieutenant Pruden and an uncanny partnership is born.

Madame Karitska helps Pruden in several different ways. She aids him in solving several crimes and…she introduces him to a side of himself that he never knew before.

We also have the opportunity to meet several other clients that she introduces to one another and we watch their relationships grow.

There are several interesting mysteries woven throughout the plot and the reader discovers that ‘who dunnit’ isn't always the reason to continue reading.

This fictional book won't appeal to every mystery lover but for those who like light-hearted mysteries…IT IS FUN!
