When death arrives in Paso Robles, so do clues to an infamous art heist in Boston. . .

For seven years, psychic Celine Skye has led a life free of visions in quiet Paso Robles. But now the visions are back. Along with a dubious customer from Boston.

Celine has always been able to sense death. But not even she can foresee her employer Dirck’s murder. Finding his corpse in the wine bar he owns is bad enough.

Grappling with the suspicion that Dirck’s death could be connected with the Gardner Museum heist is even worse.

As Celine struggles to make sense of the psychic clues she receives, there’s just one question in her mind: What exactly did Dirck know about the Gardner Museum heist to get himself killed?

Master of Illusion by Nupur Tustin is a spin on a cold case jewelry heist with spectacular new characters.

Will Celine complete her employer’s last wishes before she joins him?

Celine Skye

Our sleuth is Celine, and she is psychic. She isn’t your average noisy sleuth, but she gets the job done. Celine’s gift is to see death before it happens. She is a little skittish when it comes to her abilities, but she has a ‘guardian angel’ that helps her get through the hardest part.

I like Celine, sometimes she comes across as weak, but I think that there is more to her than even she knows.

The Mystery

This case is part cold case and part fiction.  The mystery is the author’s theory of what happened to the art that was taken in the Gardner Museum heist in 1990 in Boston. I think her story of the aftermath and what happened to the pieces is plausible. Also, it is enjoyable and has a bit of a thrill to the telling.

Five Stars

I am impressed by the research the author has done, along with the characters’ development and the settings, which is superb. The mystery is well-plotted. My rating is five stars for Master of Illusion by Nupur Tustin. I highly recommend this to all cozy mystery readers out there.
