How to Avoid Murder and Other Jobs

When a young geologist takes a job as rock and mineral curator at a quirky New Mexico western history museum, she expects a quiet life surrounded by stones, but not murder.

Petra Cloch has a secret: she’s psychic. She can touch an object and sense the lingering emotions of those who held it; fear, rage, grief. Introverted and cautious, she’s avoided friendships, preferring rocks that rarely “talk” to her…until now.

The moment she handles a jagged crystal in her new office, Petra is flooded with confusing visions of blood. Everyone insists her predecessor’s death was a car accident, but Petra suspects murder. Determined to uncover the truth, she must rely on evidence, not her hidden psychic gift.

With chatty colleagues, mysterious book clubs, and a persistent sheriff who keeps appearing, Petra realizes that solving this murder may put her own life in danger. Can her unique psychic abilities, and growing courage, catch the killer before they strike again?
