My thoughts

There’s so much to love about Troubles in Bellmount

Dr. Miranda Albright is my new favorite paranormal amateur detective.  With a recent doctoral degree in English in hand, Miranda returns to her hometown, Bellmount, Pennsylvania to teach at the local college.

Her troubles start even before she reaches town when she finds an overly Officer Friendly and a dead body. Miranda is psychic, like her grandmother before her. When a young man is charged with the death, Miranda knows he’s innocent, and is determined to find the real murderer.

I loved the character of Miranda, a smart person who normally has common sense, but makes questionable choices in the pursuit of justice. Her sidekicks, Winona and Keisha, complement the English professor well. Both are sure to keep you entertained, Winona with her incredibly hilarious stories of her family and Keisha with her reactions to them. To round off this delightful ensemble, are the men of Bellmount, each handsome and attractive in their own ways.

There’s so much to love in this book, from the references to the budding technology of cell phones and the World Wide Web, to the characters who live in Bellmount, Pennsylvania.
