Pawley Island, South Carolina is a sleepy, idyllic place where tourists bask on the beaches, and all the locals know one another. The only real mar on the whole pretty picture is the brutal murder of a teenage girl and the disappearance of her two friends. The case remains unsolved. Years later,
When TV news reporter Nicole Sullivan returns home to Pawley Island to film a half hour special on the old case she's expecting drama -- family drama. Her mother's a psychic, and her sister's spoiled, hugely pregnant, and separated from her cheating husband. What she doesn't expect is to have one of her support team murdered and to herself become a target of what seems to be the same killer.
With plenty of twists and turns, romance, and even a pot bellied pig for entertainment, you'd think this would have been a more satisfying read. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Entertaining and filled with Nicky Sullivan's hilarious family and a pet pig, this was great. Nice to read a thriller, with a fair bit of humour thrown in.

A complicated twisting plot, a killer on the loose, a hunky cop with a dark past, and a beautiful beach town ... the perfect elements for a gripping tale of murder, love, and a bit of psychic mystery.

Nicky Sullivan is a cub reporter and correspondent for the "24-Hour Investigates" news magazine (think 48-Hours), and is out to prove herself so she can attain her goal of co-host on a New York based morning news program. Sometimes her ambition clouds her judgment and sense of safety. In her
From the moment they meet, Joe is attracted to Nicky. She, on the other hand is quite surly since no one gets in her way of the story, even to the detriment of an on-going police investigation. Joe does his best to protect her, but she won't have it - she has to be at the crux of the action. He'd have been better off letting the killer take care of her.
I never really felt like the connection was there on her end - she seemed to be using him to further her career, so the romance was lukewarm. Joe has a checkered past, which threatens his new position in the wrong hands
The story meanders for quite some time, then tosses in lots of last minute plot twists, and an implausible turn of events that makes you go "huh?" to end the story abruptly. The most interesting characters were Joe and Cleo the pork-eating pig (the scene where they are caught on camera is hysterical). The writing is rather awkward, the plot is really drawn out, and the psychic aspects just way overused. It was an okay storyline but I expect a bit more from a Karen Robards novel.

hometown of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, a grisly unsolved mystery still haunts the residents. With the help of her psychic mother, she plans a live on-air seance to bring the dead teens back to solve the crime on national television. The problem is her psychic mom is blocked. But the show must go on, despite protestations of the town mayor and harried new police chief, Joe Franconi. Joe has his own set of issues, including discussions with a long-dead friend, Brian. Soon, another murder with the same MO occurs, and it looks like Nicky is another of the intended victims.From the moment they meet, Joe is attracted to Nicky.
