Titus wakes up in the middle of the road, the car stands vacant and his wife is missing. Unfortunately their gut reactions, that were trying to get them to turn back and run, were only too right. Visibility is poor and the aspect is ominous but eventually they set off, with misgivings. They’re reluctant to cross to say the least. They’re on their way to honeymoon on the Okenfenokee Swamp – and they’re arguing, chiefly about who had the big idea to go canoeing on a swamp in the first place, it certainly doesn’t sound romantic, then they come across a single lane bridge that looks a little bit menacing. We start the story with an introduction to Titus and his wife Davinia. To be upfront about it – this didn’t scare me, which I think I was expecting after being chilled to the bone by The Family Plot, but, nonetheless it was a good read with an intriguing mystery at its core. This is a story of ghosts and hungry creatures waiting in the dark. The Toll is a tale of the supernatural full of gothic type goodness set in a swamp where more than alligators live. Now joined by a rag-tag group of bar patrons and pals alike, Leda and Grady set out to catch a killer-and learn how the two cases that haunt them have more in common than they ever suspected. Leda’s psychic abilities couldn’t help the case several years before, but she’s been honing her skills and drawing a crowd at her favorite bar’s open-mic nights, where she performs Klairvoyant Karaoke-singing whatever song comes to mind when she holds people’s personal effects. When Leda, sole proprietor of Foley’s Flights of Fancy, impulsively re-books Seattle PD detective Grady Merritt’s flight, her life changes in ways she couldn’t have predicted.Īfter watching his original plane blow up from the safety of the airport, Grady realizes that Leda’s special abilities could help him with a cold case he just can’t crack.ĭespite her scattershot premonitions, she agrees for a secret reason: her fiancé’s murder remains unsolved.

Meet Leda Foley: devoted friend, struggling travel agent, and inconsistent psychic. I just love the sound of this and I’m already familiar with this author and enjoy her writing very much so here’s the description:Ī psychic travel agent and a Seattle PD detective solve a murder in this quirky mystery in the vein of Lisa Lutz’s The Spellman Files and Charlaine Harris’s Aurora Teagarden series.
