Sinossi

The Palliser Novels, a substantial series by Anthony Trollope, intricately weave together the lives of politicians, nobles, and social climbers against the backdrop of mid-19th century England. With a keen sense of realism, Trollope explores themes of ambition, morality, and the complexities of love and loyalty. The novels are marked by their rich character portraits and detailed social commentary, reflecting the stratifications and issues of Victorian society. Trollope's narrative style, characterized by its blend of humor and earnestness, invites readers to engage deeply with both the personal and political dilemmas faced by his characters. Anthony Trollope, born in 1815, was a pivotal figure in Victorian literature, known for his observations of society and politics. His experiences in civil service informed his meticulous depictions of parliamentary life in The Palliser Novels. Trollope's own struggles and triumphs in a rapidly changing world provided fertile ground for the creation of compelling characters who grapple with their ambitions and ethical boundaries, mirroring the turbulent political landscape of his time. For readers seeking a profound understanding of Victorian life, politics, and human nature, The Palliser Novels offer an exceptional literary journey. Trollope's insights into the ambitions and failures of his characters resonate with contemporary themes, making this series both an enduring classic and a relevant exploration of the human condition.

    I lead a safe and snug life in a small desert town, but I have a secret—I have psychic powers that scare me. They've gone wonky before, so now I only use them for the most important purpose—listening to my dogs ask for more treats. But on an awful Monday morning, I stumble right into a vision of my friend's final moments before she's murdered. 
     
     
     
    My powers might be able to help find the killer, but I'm terrified. I can't tell people I'm psychic, what if they think I'm a psycho? Plus it's not like I have a crystal ball or a third eye to show me visions. Just as I'm feeling completely befuddled, my long-lost Aunt Irene shows up to tell me we come from a long line of psychic talent. And she has experience tracking down criminals. 
     
     
     
    I discover one of the officers assigned to the murder investigation is my best friend's little brother who's decidedly hunkier than the last time I saw him. The more I investigate, the more he grows suspicious of my knowledge of the case. And my questions aren't just attracting the attention of the police force—the killer is still at large and desperate to tie up loose ends. 
     
     
     
    Can I dig deep to embrace my powers before the killer puts me six feet under?
