Murder Hi Jinks and the Peridot Cufflinks by Lynn Rankin-Esquer

 

Izzy is part of a team with her sister in an organisation co-op. A business that helps people clear, declutter and organise their living space so that they can think clearly and live basically organised lives. Izzy is also psychic and though she tries to close her mind to warnings, she is sometimes caught quite unaware in some homes she helps to clear, much to the dismay of her very focused sister.

The latest happening is bizarre when she gets signals for a man who was murdered, and though all the obvious signs is his gold digger wife, it is actually not so. The police assigned to the case know about her abilities and though one of them is skeptical (at the beginning only) the other knows from personal experience not to take Izzy’s forecasts lightly. The story unravels with many side issues, another murder and more insights. The biggest danger is that the murder weapon had Izzy’s fingerprints on them, and though the reasoning behind it is quite plausible (she was part of the cleaning crew of the murder victims household), her involvement cannot be ignored.

There is a nice balance of murder and humour including all the characters involved, which added interesting to the story.
