Dead In Red

by L. L. Bartlett

Overview

Sometimes it seems like murder and mayhem follow Jeff Resnick, challenging his psychic “sixth sense” to solve crimes. Since the vicious mugging that changed his life, he’s tried to keep his unwanted gift in check. But when a bartender at his favorite watering hole is murdered, visions of a sparkling red woman’s high-heeled shoe and a pair of bloody hands linger in his mind--and hit too close to home. When Jeff’s older brother, Richard, last helped him with an investigation, it nearly cost him his life. Still, Richard is determined to tag along as Jeff is drawn into the seamy world of fetishes and drag queens to find a murderer before another life is taken.

Library Journal

Bartlett presents her 2nd supernatural mystery featuring Jeff Resnick, a down-and-out insurance investigator who acquired hard-to-control psychic powers after sustaining brain injuries in a mugging. While in a local bar, he’s asked by the bartender to look into the murder of his cousin. Jeff instantly gets a flash of a red, rhinestone-studded high-heeled shoe and he knows he must take the case. The investigation leads him into a world of fetishes and drag queens. Gripping and energizing.

Book List

A wonderful mix of hard-edged characters and scenarios with a touch of heart-moving details. There is no guaranteed easy resolution or happily-ever-after summation, but WOW, what an ending. Now, when is the next Jeff Resnick mystery out? I’m hooked!
