Strangled Intuition

Strangled Intuition is an incredibly fun read and delightful mystery written in the cozy, amateur sleuth style. But it offers more than just a clever whodunit (Which was indeed clever. All the clues were fair, but I didn't guess the murderer's identity until the end.). Part way through the book, I realized what Claire Daniels meant by "strangled intuition." The books protagonist, Cally Lazar, is a medical intuitive, but her intuition can't help her find a murderer. Cally is also an incurable optimist, but people die near her. Her struggle to maintain inner peace while the dead bodies pile up was the bonus that put Strangled Intuition over the top for me. I couldn't ask for more. A good solid mystery with an endearing protagonist, humor, great plot, believable characters, and an underlying theme that spoke to me. I give it five stars!
