Flight Risk A Novel

Cherie Priest2022
Inconsistent psychic Leda Foley and Seattle detective Grady Merritt return to solve the case of a missing couple in this sequel to the “delightful” (The New York Times Book Review) mystery Grave Reservations. When psychic travel agent Leda Foley is approached by a man searching for his sister, she quickly agrees to help. The missing woman disappeared with a vintage orange car, a fat sack of her employer’s cash, and a grudge against her philandering husband—a man who never even reported her missing. Meanwhile, Seattle PD detective Grady Merritt has temporarily misplaced his dog. While he’s passing out bright pink “Lost” flyers at the Mount Rainier visitor’s center, the wayward pooch appears—with a human leg in his mouth. Thanks to DNA matching, Grady soon learns that Mr. Leg has something to do with Leda’s new client, and soon the two cases are tangled. Theories abound, but law enforcement is low on leads. Lucky for Grady, Leda has a few ideas that might just be crazy enough to work. They’ll need one yellow dog, a fair share of teamwork, and perhaps a bit of Klairvoyant Karaoke to piece the clues together.

When I requested this book, I missed where it said that this was the second installment of a series. Now I have to go back and read the first one because now I'm obsessed. I absolutely love cozy mysteries and this one is perfect. She is a medium and her partner is a dog? Sign me up! I loved and adored everything about this book. I found that the way they found the rest of the body was hilarious and her suggestion on how to get it down was brilliantly funny. Will be going back for more. Thank you Netgalley and Atria books

When Seattle PD detective, Grady Merritt's lost dog turns up holding a human leg in his mouth, he knows that someone is dead and finds himself involved in a case that isn't even in his jurisdiction. At the same time, Leda Foley is hired by a man looking for his sister and wants her to use her psychic abilities to help him find her. When Grady and Leda compare notes, they find that they are searching for a husband and wife. They combine their talents to find the missing pair.

Flight Risk is another interesting entry in The Booking Agents series. It is a classic example of a cozy mystery with some light paranormal elements. There is very little in the way of character development since this is the second book in the series, and unfortunately, there is minimal interaction between them. In addition, there aren't any real twists or turns to make the mystery unique, leaving the ending as somewhat lackluster. Overall, Flight Risk is an average mystery with a few fun moments but doesn't add anything notable to the genre.
