Mystery novelist Connor Hawthorne and her lover, Laura Nez, are enjoying a quiet weekend at a retreat in Palm Springs, but a poolside conversation with a resort employee, Bettina Waters, soon has them neck-deep in a mystery with far-reaching ramifications. Bettina tells them about a disturbing letter from her sister, Carmen, who has gotten entangled with what seems like a cult in Europe, and wants all the money from their inheritance.

    The next morning, Bettina is found dead. Connor and Laura travel to Yorkshire, England to investigate Sister Sonia, whose purported healing powers are drawing hundreds to the Children of Artemis compound. Eventually, Connor's daughter, Katy, insists on going undercover to find out what has become of one of her colleagues.

    Connor's father, the redoubtable ex-Senator and presidential advisor, joins them, soon to be followed by the other memorable characters from the previous Connor Hawthorne mysteries. They discover a link between the cult and the massacre of an archaeological team on an island in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle.

    Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. This fifth book in the series introduces a third spiritual thread, following books one Deceptions and two Witchfire in the story of Connor Hawthorne and her "entourage. There is much to think about spiritually as the reader contemplates the spiritual elements from the three books and how Connor deals with them and how we can open our own eyes to deal with that which is spiritual in relation to the every day world in which we live. She did manage to squeeze in a murder or two along the way, but Literate and spiritual A book written for the soul and the mind is a true gift from writer.

    Starting the next one before I sleep.

    May 21, Megan added it Shelves: I hope that the other Connor Hawthorne mysteries are better than this one. In fact, I hope they are mysteries, because Deceptions is not. Connor Hawthorne herself is not a particularly attractive character, although the author spends a great deal of time trying to convince us otherwise. She is, in fact, not a sleuth bur a tourist.

    On the other hand, Laura Nez, a Navajo bodyguard, is quite an interesting character and it is no wonder that Connor ends up falling hard for her. The fact that Connor spends the bulk of the book grieving for her is less surprising than the fact that she saw anything lovable about her in the first place. Beware though, that the true heroes of this book are an Indian spirit guide in the form of a hawk and an old woman in England who can astrally project herself at will. Nice touch though, in the long car ride Connor and Laura take, chased all the while by a killer.

    This mystery started off great, a woman's ex-girlfriend is murdered and she is devastated then pissed when it appears someone is after her. Her friend and father, who appears to be a government operative, are helping her to solve this mystery.

    Death by Prophecy

    But then in the middle of the book, it takes a turn into science fiction, mystical dialogue that had me wondering what the author was trying to do. Overall it is an okay read. Jan 15, Corryn added it. I have mixed thoughts about this book. It was a good mystery, and there were several things I never would have anticipated. However, it took me forever to read this book. It was slow reading, and the author's style of writing was almost formal. I am intriqued by the title and description of book 2, which is part of what kept me reading book 1. Mar 10, Pat rated it it was ok Shelves: Connor Hawthorne, author, former DA, gay, is main character.

    Her lover is murdered. Her father is big in government, friend is black cop. Mystery, suspense and fantasy. Nahavo mysticism is big secret. Feb 04, Pogue rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is a great mystery escapist book, one for rainy days and long nights. The only thing that I wish is that the author had written more of this series. Oct 30, Elizabeth rated it it was ok. Didn't finish the book. The heroine was just a little too good to be true money, brains, power, etc. I'd love a well written lesbo mystery, but this wasn't it.
