"Whispers of Warning" the second in the A Change of Fortune series by Jessica Estevao is the novel centering on Ruby Proulx as she solves the murder of a guest in her aunt's hotel. Ruby is not only audiovoiant, but she is also what would be considered a modern day mentalist. She was raised by a con-artist father and taken in by her aunt who runs a Spiritualist themed hotel. Ruby works as a medium. The novel takes place following WWI during the suffragist movement. A leader of the movement checks into the hotel and winds up drowned in a neighboring pool. Ruby teams up with Det. Yancey to try and solve the murder.
Though this is a second novel in a series, reading the first is not necessary. I thought the book was very entertaining and well written. Reading on the suffragist as well as the spiritualist fad was a lot of fun. I will definitely be checking out the rest of the series. I received this book from www.firsttoread.com in exchange for an honest review.
