Right away, you're pulled back into the world of psychic Sunshine Meadows, whose special abilities are put to the test again. Townsend does a fantastic job creating a complex and exciting mystery with plenty of twists that will keep even big mystery fans guessing. The story is strong and keeps you on the edge of your seat, but what really makes this book special are the amazing characters.
Sunny herself is a super likable main character, dealing with both a murder investigation and her growing romance with Detective Mitch Stone. Their slow-burning relationship adds a nice touch to the crime-solving. But the real stars, as many fans will agree, are the memorable side characters. Granny Gert, with her hilarious antics, and the grumpy cat, Morty, bring lots of genuine laughs that lighten the mood without taking away from the main mystery. They make the town of Divinity feel lively and real, full of friends you'll want to visit again.
Townsend's writing is smooth and welcoming, making "The Corpse in the Crystal Ball" a quick and enjoyable read. Even though it's part of a series, you can easily read it on its own and still get a complete and satisfying mystery. If you're looking for a cozy mystery that has it all—a clever plot, charming characters, funny moments, and a touch of the supernatural—then this book is a must-read. It's truly a great find, and I can't wait to see what Sunny and her quirky group do next!
