Just You Wait: A Grace Street Mystery: 4 (Grace Street Mysteries, 4) - Softcover

A lot is going on in Tesh's charming fourth mystery featuring the inhabitants of 302 Grace Street, Parkland, N.C. (after 2013's Now You See It). Quirky Folly Harper, the owner of BeautiQueen Cosmetics, hires PI David Randall, one of the residents, to locate her business partner, George McMillan, who ran off with her money. Meanwhile, psychic John "Cam" Camden, who owns the Grace Street house, asks Randall to find out who killed elderly Viola Mitchell, a community theater actress. Then Cam's difficult fiancée, Ellin Belton, wants Randall to determine why Cam is having second thoughts about marrying her. Randall does some serious detective work to find Viola's killer, but the emphasis is on relationships, including Cam's struggles with the Beltons: Ellin, her mother, and her two sisters. Cam is also worried about his new and unwelcomed power of telekinesis, which manifests in strange ways. Fans of lighter mysteries will welcome the adventures and misadventures on Grace Street.--Publishers Weekly

David Randall, a private detective short of work, invites his psychic friend Camden into a case. Miss Viola Mitchell, an aging local actress, has recently been reported missing. The Parkland PD’s Jordan Finley objects to Randall and Cam inspecting Viola’s home, claiming the police don’t need their help. Moments later, despite the array of birds and cats perfuming the residence, Cam advises Finley, “Check the basement.”Viola is neatly planted there in a square of dirt. Who would kill her? Why? Are others targeted? Is a local performer twisted by jealousy? Could a role in a Parkland Little Theatre production, maybe My Fair Lady or Arsenic and Old Lace, have caused her death? Cam goes undercover at the theater while rejecting demands from his fiancée that they marry this month. His psychic gifts have expanded to levitate objects, make garbage cans dance in the street, and restrain a car from hitting a lady. He fears for their children. She wants to put him on television. Meanwhile, a new Grace Street client, owner of popular BeautiQueen Cosmetics, is searching for her arrogant, absconding partner. Randall tracks him to Clearwater, Florida, and soon finds himself chasing shoplifters stealing pharmaceuticals and helping a jazz musician woo his woman while failing to woo his own love, Kary. Will Randall and Cam piece all this together?
