The Sense of Reckoning - The Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels #2

Matty Dalrymple

Beschreibung

Ann Kinnear thinks that her midnight visit to a shuttered Maine hotel with a haunted past is simply a favor for a friend ... 
 
... until she finds that more than secrets are buried there. 
 
Will Ann be able to unlock the secrets hidden within those walls, or will she succumb to an eternity trapped there herself? 
 
After solving the Philadelphia Socialite murder, Ann Kinnear should be riding high. Instead, she's depressed and considering abandoning her spirit sensing business. To add to her problems, she has suffered a series of injuries to her hands—could these be the ghostly repercussions of the violence that ended her last case? 
 
Ann goes to Maine to solicit help from fellow spirit senser Garrick Masser. Ann and Garrick find more trouble than they bargained for in a tale of obsession and misplaced loyalty that has its roots in a crumbling summer hotel, international art theft, and the historic wildfire that raged across Mount Desert Island in 1947. 
 
Will Ann be able to fit together the pieces of the puzzle, or will she miss the vital piece ... and its warning of the danger that lies in wait? 
 
Find out now in Book 2 of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels! 
 
O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts. 
Possess them not with fear. Take from them now 
The sense of reckoning, if the opposed numbers 
Pluck their hearts from them. 
— William Shakespeare, "Henry V"

No the bloodlust is a major ingredient, just enjoy the books for what they are, a good story extremely well told.’
