In the first of a thrilling new series, one woman's extraordinary psychic gift plunges her already troubled present into chaos - and puts her future in someone's deadly sights....

Until now, Odessa Jones's inherited ability to read emotions and foretell danger has protected her. But second sight didn't warn her she would soon be a widow - and about to lose her home and the catering business she's worked so hard to build. The only things keeping Dessa going are her love for baking and her sometimes-mellow cat, Juniper. Unfortunately, putting her life back together means taking a gig at an all-kinds-of-shady real estate firm run by volatile owner Charlie Risko....

Until Charlie is brutally killed - and Dessa's bullied coworker is arrested for murder. Dessa can't be sure who's guilty. But it doesn't take a psychic to discover that everyone from Charlie's much-abused staff to his long-suffering younger wife had multiple reasons to want him dead. And as Dessa follows a trail of lies through blackmail, dead-end clues, and corruption, she needs to see the truth fast - or a killer will bury her deep down with it.

A Glimmer of Death is a great introduction to a new and promising series. Diana Blue’s narration is perfect, she breathes life into each character. I can’t wait to read what comes next,

Great story

I'm usually a fan of all things VWW...but this... this was obvious from early on who the killer was. It was trite. It was a quip from the book but it really was Murder-She-Wrote-esque. I'm hoping it was just to set up the characters for the series and book two will get down to business.

C'mon now Ms. Wesley...

Very Pleasant

I enjoyed this book. Odessa is a very likable character, as is Lennox Royal. The premise is a bit different but relatable. I find myself wondering how long the "Risky" real-estate agency will survive. I plan to purchase Book 2.

Very Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this book. The details and narrative made me really feel I was there in real life. I can't want for the next ones in the series to come out on Audible.

This story dragged so much that I fell asleep twice while listening. The narrator's voice just bored me to sleep. I've read books by V. W. W. & they've always been full of action and very entertaining.

Boring

The story was a storm for sure. All the twists I kinda thought that it was who it was but I wasn’t sure.

It was a twister

I have read all the other books by this author. This was my first audiobook. Would prefer a different narrator. But the story was good.

Entertaining

Miss Wesley crafted a cozy little mystery. I appreciate the bits of references to Black History and culture regarding family and the ancestors. The descriptions of the 7up cake, chocolate devils food cake and cookies bought back memories of my own family gatherings. Miss Wesley has a new fan in me.
