This is going to be among my favorite series.
I wanted to read through in one sitting, but I also wanted to make it last and enjoy the experience. I loved so much about it – the Native American theme, references to shamanism and psychic dreaming.

Synopsis:
On the eve of the biggest art event at Huckleberry Mountain Resort, potter Shandra Higheagle finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. She’s ruled out as a suspect, but now it’s up to her to prove the friend she witnessed fleeing the scene was just as innocent. With help from her recently deceased Nez Perce grandmother, Shandra becomes more confused than ever but just as determined to discover the truth.
Detective Ryan Greer prides himself on solving crimes and refuses to ignore a single clue, including Shandra Higheagle’s visions. While Shandra is hesitant to trust her dreams, Ryan believes in them and believes in her.
Can the pair uncover enough clues for Ryan to make an arrest before one of them becomes the next victim?
Excerpt:
“I
think that would be a good idea.”
Shandra’s
neck popped as she jerked her head to look up at the voice. Damn!
Poor timing. Detective Greer stood over them holding a clear plastic
baggie of ice. He handed it to her and knelt next to Naomi.
“Mrs.
Norton, now would be a good time to tell me what you want to get off
your conscience.” His soothing voice didn’t fool Shandra.
“Naomi,
you haven’t done anything wrong. There isn’t any reason—”
Detective
Greer shot her a glare. “Mrs. Norton are you the one who tossed a
file about your sister into the dumpster behind the donut shop?”
Shandra
couldn’t stop her friend’s reaction. Naomi shot to her feet as if
to run, then dropped into the chair and cried into her hands.
“Are
you happy?” Shandra spat at the detective. “It’s taken her
months to get over her sister’s death, and you bring it up with
about as much tact as a rhino in rut.” Shandra put an arm around
her friend. “I don’t want you asking her any more questions until
you get her husband over here.” She leveled an unwavering glare on
the detective.
He
sighed and rose to his feet. “If you try to sneak her out of here
while I get the husband, I’ll find you both and haul you in for
obstruction of justice.”
She
continued to glare at him.
“Am
I clear?”
“Yes.”
Shandra wanted to keep glaring at him, but as he walked away she had
to admit, he could have pressed Naomi for information.
