Whispers Beyond The Veil by Jessica Estevao

This book cover is as visually stunning as the story and mystery in Whispers Beyond The Veil by Jessica Estevao. This story starts off in Canada which I found extraordinarily appealing, quickly following main character Ruby to Old Orchard, Maine. History lovers are going to truly enjoy this book. With the story roots in the "phonies and fraudsters" of the time a compelling mystery unfolds as  Ruby learns to trust, survive and come into her own. 

First in a dazzling new historical mystery series featuring Ruby Proulx, a psychic with a questionable past who suddenly finds her future most uncertain...Canada, 1898. The only life Ruby Proulx has ever known is that of a nomad, traveling across the country with her snake-oil salesman father. She dreams of taking root somewhere, someday, but, until she can, she makes her way by reading tarot cards. Yet she never imagined her own life would take such a turn… After one of her father’s medical “miracles” goes deadly wrong, Ruby evades authorities by hiding in the seaside resort town of Old Orchard, Maine, where her estranged aunt, Honoria, owns the Hotel Belden, a unique residence that caters to Spiritualists—a place where Ruby should be safe as long as she can keep her dark secret hidden. But Ruby’s plan begins to crumble after a psychic investigator checks into the hotel and senses Ruby is hiding more than she’s letting on. Now Ruby must do what she can to escape both his attention and Aunt Honoria’s insistence that she has a true gift, before she loses her precious new home and family forever…

On My Table and In My Cup August 27th to September 3rd

I am not sure where the week went, so busy and fast but here we are on the first Saturday of September, yard sales behind us and hockey practices to come. Transition from summer to fall, my kids are starting school next week here and that roller coaster to Christmas truly begins.

Last Saturday night I spent some wonderful moments finishing Cheddar Off Dead by Julia Buckley, a great feel good cozy and it was great to be transported on that hot August night to the crisp and sparkly winter setting. 

The cover of this book is simply divine, Whispers Beyond the Veil, a tale of making your way in the late 1880's a very interesting read.

Such a treat to have Lynn Cahoon stop by this week and share about her new series with the introduction of A Story To Kill. 

Sunday night I read Betting Off Dead, Witches, horses and a really great car, now that is my kind of mystery!

I have not started A Charming Voodoo but I am so looking forward to reading this one, I adore this series.

I loved this mystery by Jean Flowers and hope you will too, my review will be posted shortly. This was a fun one!

Also on my table and quickly in my heart is book two in the Delia James Mystery By Familiar Means. Great book!

Peg Cochran's No Farm, No Foul also made it to my table this week, review to follow on the 20th of this month.

15th book in the series on my table Thursday, I was about to start it when....

Fate intervened and Fatal Twist of Lemon was delivered to my door. What an absolutely stunning cover and story I can not wait to tell you about!

On My Table And In My Cup August 20th-27th

Saturday and what a week it has been, I have actually been home now since Monday, what a great time I had! I love to go away but there is something about being home I think is fantastic and that I truly miss. My cat Squirrel seems to be the most put out by my leaving, though I hope she has mostly forgiven me now. We were in the State of Oregon, my husband and I. It was a great get away.  We left the boys and the cats at home and headed for the eclectic and fun bookstores, fresh air of the Pacific North West and even got to fulfill a life long dream of visiting and being inside a lighthouse.

 A dream trip for sure and only about 6 hours from my home. Quite a delight for sure. I also had the great fortune to visit the Stash Tea Store and now I am wishing I bought way more then I did. I can order on line but the shipping will kill me! The Portland loose leaf Stash Blend was way beyond my expectations and perfectly reflects the state. You can taste the culture and the communities, the quirkiness and the sweetness of great outdoors in each sip. Click here to see how you can order your own from the Stash Tea Website.

Monday we arrived home and waiting for me was Jessica Estevao's Whispers Beyond The Veil.  I am looking forward to reading this one.

Also waiting for me when I got home but on my Kindle App was Warren Adler's cozy mystery Flanagan's Dolls. This book is out now and as a Doll lover this book appeals to me.

Tuesday's mail brought some lovely treasures from my friend Lisa! I love the napkins and watching my TBR pile grow!

Wednesday the mail man dropped off 8 more lovelies to my pile. Not hard to dive into this bunch. I am so excited to read some familiar series and some that are totally new to me. So hard to know where to start! Great problem to have!

Thursday brought me my friend Lisa's suggestion of Susan Bernhardt's The Ginseng Conspiracy! Good friends, tea, pastries and set at Halloween this one looks really good! I hear it is also out in paperback now too!
Friday no mail came but that is just as well. I have a very full and thankful table at the moment. Thank you for joining me for a cup of tea and a cozy week in review. I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com
