Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-26 00:00:00 Simon Rayton I had absolutely no expectations going into this and in fact thought it was a science fiction book, but it is not that, it is a mystery and the title refers to an astrological term. I was pleasanlty surprised by this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-11-06 00:00:00 Ken Norman A solid 3.5 star rating. It reminds me somewhat of a mystery series set in Niagara Falls, the Benny Cooperman books. Katy Klein is a Jewish/ Canadian ex-psychologist who has made a drastic career change and now works as a professional astrologer in Ottawa, Canada. She lives with her teenage daughter, Dawn and her ex-husband lives in the upstairs flat. Adding to the mix is her friend, Greg, a psychologist. The four make a nice, friendly team who find themselves caught up in the 'suspicious' death of a client of Katy's, Adam, who also had previously been treated by Greg for serious issues. Adam ends up dead and almost against their wills, Katy and friends get caught up in trying to solve what happened and what, in Adam's past, led to his killing. It was fun being in Ottawa again, a city I spent about 20 years in, over various periods, and it was nice to read an easy, interesting story as well. I wish more had been made up about the astrological aspects of the story as the bits that were provided added to the interest. I especially wish Karen had explained the header of the various chapters and how they related to what was going on; For example, Chap one starts off Sun opposition Uranus, Moon opposition Mars, Mars inconjunct Uranus. What does it mean?? All in all, entertaining story, with interesting characters. There are thee books in the series; unfortunately, at the moment I don't have the second. Will check this weekend at my used book stores, otherwise, I'll be reading book 3 next.. :)
