And his supervisor isn’t at all thrilled when Esther is up close and personal at a mob hit that defies all logic. Esther and Lucky, a semi-retired hitman, had seen the victim’s double and team up with Max, a sorcerer who fights evil in the New York area, to find the answers to the Doppelgangers being seen just before another member of a mob family is killed in impossible circumstances. They are doing their best to prevent an all-out mob war, but no one accepts the unbelievable until seeing their own double: a portent of their death by the end of the day. No, the detective isn’t at all happy with the company Esther is keeping and the fact that they can’t provide him with reasonable explanations. This second book in the paranormal mystery series has a strong, fun, chaotic feel to it for half of the book, similar to a grown-up Stephanie Plum story. The secondary characters are half the fun and the whodunit isn’t obvious. Unlike most paranormals, the heroine doesn’t have any magical abilities herself. The story does tend to drag for a portion of the book as it settles into research on doppelgangers and working out answers. The first book in the Esther Diamond series, Disappearing Nightly, was released over a decade ago and is no longer in print. Two more books are expected to follow.
