Caught Dead Handed by Carol J. Perry
A Lee Barrett, Witch City Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Kensington
What we know about the character: Lee Barrett is a reporter with WICH-TV in Salem, Massachusetts. For more information about her first murder, see a synopsis of the book, below.
She's not a psychic — she just plays one on TV.
Most folks associate the city of Salem, Massachusetts with witches, but for Lee Barrett, it's home. This October she's returned to her hometown — where her beloved Aunt Ibby still lives — to interview for a job as a reporter at WICH-TV. But the only opening is for a call-in psychic to host the late night horror movies. It seems the previous host, Ariel Constellation, never saw her own murder coming.
Lee reluctantly takes the job, but when she starts seeing real events in the obsidian ball she's using as a prop, she wonders if she might really have psychic abilities. To make things even spookier, it's starting to look like Ariel may have been an actual practicing witch — especially when O'Ryan, the cat Lee and Aunt Ibby inherited from her, exhibits some strange powers of his own. With Halloween fast approaching, Lee must focus on unmasking a killer — or her career as a psychic may be very short lived …
