Murder Like Magic

Praise for Murder Like Magic:
“With her unstoppable voice and cleverly intriguing premise, the oh-so-talented Trisha Blanchet spins a captivating and immersive story in an evocative setting that will instantly draw you into her uniquely designed world. In this riveting speculative whodunnit, the emotional depth and compelling relationships of the characters take center stage—it’s Stranger Things meets Mare of Easttown meets The Mentalist, and you will fall in love with this relatable (and sharp-witted) sleuth. I loved this!”
—Hank Phillipi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author, Agatha Award winner, Mary Higgins Clark Award winner, and Anthony Award Winner

“Murder Like Magic’s Tess Tulley is a true rarity, a heroine whose sharp, sassy observations, bracing and welcome as your first cup of coffee, will make you laugh aloud on every page—and conceal an endearingly vulnerable core. I’d read Murder Like Magic just to listen to Tess comment on the world, but put her together with a murder plot and supernatural powers? C’mon. This book is an irresistible winner.”
—Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Murder Your Darlings and Those Who Save Us

“Part murder mystery, part paranormal love triangle, and all-around thrilling, Trisha Blanchet’s debut mystery novel introduces private investigator Tess Tulley, a “Spinner” born with the ability to read others’ thoughts – whether she wants to or not. When local cop and love interest Devi Suong asks Tess to consult on a seemingly straightforward murder case, Tess is plunged into what turns out to be a more complex and dangerous assignment than she expected. Blanchet’s first mystery novel delivers a fast-paced, multi-leveled plot while exploring themes of family and estrangement. This is sure to be one of the best debuts of the year.”
—Edwin Hill, Edgar- and Agatha-nominated author of What Happened Next, Who To Believe, The Secrets We Share, and the Hester Thursby series

“In the investigative spirit of Tana French mixed with the fantastical fiction of Dean Koontz, Trisha Blanchet spins an addictive tale of a brutal murder, a young private investigator navigating a troubled past that still haunts her present, and the woes and wonders of city life. Blanchet breathes life into a fictional narrative that leaves me wanting more.”
—L. Divine, author of The Keke McCoy Mysteries and The Drama High Series
