Retrieve A Sinister Sense (Ravens Nest, #2) Crafted By Allison Kingsley Contained In Version

Quinn, a bookstore worker, has claim to the 'Quinn Sense, ' This sense is a family inherited trait that allows her insight into a situation rather telepathically, using audiology and clairvoyance.
She hears voices and sees crime scenes, Clara has spent great energy to suppress this ability since her best friend, and cousin Stephanie did not inherit the sense.


In this case, Clara does chose to use the advantage of her sense, Rick Sanders, a man that Clara is interested in, has a dead body show up in the rear of his pickup.
Clara 'knows' he is not the culprit, she has to hurry to find the true killer before Rick is charged with the crime.


We are introduced to a lovable furry dog, Tatters who is able to converse with Clara and that is an avenue the author, in my opinion, should pursue.


This was an enjoyable cozy murder read, Huh, after a week of reading cozy mystery, I can't help but compare this to the other series I've been reading, the Needlecraft mysteries by Monica Ferris.
I felt like this had some good ideas, but the mystery was not so mysterious, the writing was a little immature, and the investigation techniques poor.
HOWEVER it does have potential as a series, there is a dog and a budding romance, There is an excellent friendship between cousins, There's a bookstore but very little discussion of books sigh All of this things add up and make this book a little better.
I think I'd have to read another book in the series to make up my mind completely,

So some positives and some negatives, Three. I recently finished the first novel in the Raven's Nest series, so I wanted to read this second installment.
I liked this story even more than the first novel, The reader learns a bit more about Claire's background in New York City and why she moved home to Maine.
I liked the addition of a rambunctious pet, as well as the growing relationship between Claire and Rick Sanders.
The one thing that really puts me off is how Claire's cousin Stephanie has to lie to her husband about where she goes and what she does She's a grown woman and her husband is too controlling.
Clara Quinn is back using her Quinn Sense the psychic ability that is like a family inheritance to help solve another murder.
This time she's helping Rick Halloran, hardware store owner, when he's accused of murder after a dead body is found in the back of his truck.
With the help of a very large, unruly dog, called Tatters, Clara and her cousin Stephanie set about to try and prove that Rick is innocent.


I liked the first book in this series, Mind Over Murder, so it was a nobrainer that I added this one to my TBR too.
I love reading all the books in a series, so I definitely wanted to take another journey with the girls at the Ravens Nest Bookstore.


I found A Sinister Sense just as enjoyable as the first book, Even though the murder victim was not a local, there was plenty of "side plots" about Finn's Shore, especially the growing bond between Rick and Clara.
I really hope this friendship continues in the next book, and there is more on the other locals of Finn's Shore as I want to learn more about the residents.


I've been on a bit of a cozy mystery slump lately, and this was a good book to come back.
Definitely a fun murder mystery, and Tatters, the unruly dog, won my heart over! Sins tee Sense Ravens Nest Bookshopby: Allison Kingsley was even better then her first book in this series.
Can't wait to read the next in this series, Why I think I found a new favorite series, Looks like the cousins find themselves in another mystery, This time the suspect in question is their friend and hardware store owner, Rick,

Once I saw this on the shelves, I got it and started to read, not putting it down.
Well, I did now and then but went back to it, I really like the friendship and relationship of Clara and Stephanie,

And of course there's the is it the Quinn Sense or Clara's instincts and of course the ever growing question does Clara like Rick or what While I was thinking, are kidding me Its so obvious But I liked the slow build up to it.
That and they start of as friends, And later, really good friends,

Then of course there's the adorable and loveable Tatters, He shines near the end, Well, throughout the book now that I think about it,

Anyway, as the suspense builds, the story does get interesting as the sisters try to clear Rick's name.
And the end made me smile, Same like last time as well, Thanks for that book. You know me and my book loving self well don't you Anyway, now I want the third book already.
Oh the cover looks cozy, Overall ok to read. I am not “gripped” by the book where I feel like I just cant put it down, The “Quinn sense” is starting to bother me though I, That the main character seems to want it both ways, You cant be angry for it not working when you want it to when you are actively trying to stop it from working every time it does! Just decide if you want it or not.
If you decide to use it you need to stop preventing it from working, A Sinister Sense is the second book in the A Raven's Nest Bookstore Mystery series,

Clara Quinn is enjoying watching a large dog chase Roberta, who owns the store next door to Raven's Nest.
Raven's Nest is the bookstore that her cousin owns and where she works, The dog, Tatters, is owned by Rick Sanders owner of the hardware store across the street, Rick is someone that Clara would like to know better, so she offers to help Rick train Tatters.

The murdered person had recently contacted an excon in Finn's Harbor, Clara and her visit a seedy bar that the victim and been in the night he was murdered where there had been an altercation, could this be related.
Clara also find out that the victim's sister committed suicide a few years back, could this have something to do with the victims being murdered Once when Clara was walking Tatters the mayor stop and tells Clara that she should stop nosing around.
To top it all off her "Quinn's Sense" isn't providing her with a lot of help,

A fun read with a good mixture of seriousness and humor,

Looking forward to the next book,

I completely forget the first book in this series, but stumbled across booksandso decided to try number.
It was really just ok, The cousins are honestly not that interesting as main characters, you don't get enough of the local flavor of the town to make it worthwhile, and the amateur investigating was really REALLY amateur to the point that I don't actually understand how they put anything together at all to get to the end.
Since I already have book, I'll read it, but I don't think I'll be going for number,Good This is the second book in the series, Clara Quinn has moved back to her hometown of Finn Harbor after her heartbreak in New York City.
She has been helping her cousin Stephanie run her book store, Clara swore off all police work after proving her friends innocence in the last book, but finds herself in the midst of solving crimes when Rick Sanders, who owns the hardware store across the street, is accused of murdering an out of towner.
The evidence continues to pile up against Rick, which only leads Clara and Stephanie to work harder to free him! A Sinister Sense by Allison Kingsley is the second book of the Raven's Nest cozy mystery series set in Finn's Harbor, a contemporary small coastal town in Maine.

Mayor Carson Dexter mounts a publicity campaign against Rick, urging a swift arrest to keep their town safe.
Clara is confident Rick is a good man, innocent of murder, Since Detective Dan Petersen and Mayor Carson Dexter are best friends, she doubts the police will spend time investigating the murder.
Circumstantial evidence points to Rick,

Clara has the "Quinn Sense", an extrasensory perception passed down in her family, Stephanie has always been jealous, since she doesn't have it, Clara has tried to ignore it, because it didn't warn her of betrayal in the past, But now Clara is eagerly receptive to visions or voices, for clues to the true killer,

Luckily Clara brings Tatters Rick's dog with them, Cousins Clara and Stephanie Quinn from the Ravens Nest Bookstore are back with another murder to solve in Allison Kingsleys latest cozy mystery, A SINISTER SENSE.
Things arent looking so good for Rick Sanders, the owner of Finns Harbors only hardware store, A dead body is discovered in the back of his truck, and the murder weapon was taken straight from his own stores inventory.
Even though most of the town thinks hes guilty, Clara just knows hes innocent, Rick is Claras good friend and even a potential love interest, so shes not going to sit by an let him take the fall for someone else.
Armed with her special “Quinn Sense” and her cousin Stephanies help, Clara sets out to find the real murderer.


A SINISTER SENSE was a quick and easy read, and overall I liked it not loved, but liked.
The mystery was fairly simple, without a lot of twists and turns or red herrings in the plot.
Clara was such a loyal friend to Rick, and when others turned their back on him, she stuck to her guns to find the real murderer, even after receiving threats if she didnt stop snooping.
I enjoyed the dynamic between Clara and Stephanie as cousins, best friends and a fun amateur sleuthing team.
My main complaint with this book is the same one I had with the first book in the series sitelinkMind Over Murder the way the murderer was caught was just kind of silly.
Not very believable in my opinion, and that took away some of my enjoyment,

Im crazy about bookstore settings, and the Ravens Nest sounds like an intriguing shop with its Edgar Allen Poe theme.
The bookstore specializes in the occult genre, which is fitting given that certain family members, like Clara, have the “Quinn Sense.
” Its similar to having a sixth sense Clara hears voices in her mind, giving her vague hints about certain things, or she will just develop a strong “feeling” about something without explanation.
Clara is not very good at using her special ability, mainly because shes not happy about having it in the first place, and for years shes tried to pretend it wasnt there.
I absolutely LOVE cozies with paranormal elements, so I wish this book had delved deeper into the Quinn Sense.


Since Im curious to see where Claras relationship goes with Rick, and I want to know more about Claras woowoo powers, I will be continuing with A Ravens Nest Bookstore series.
Im just hoping the cousins find a different way to catch the killer next time, Clara is sure that Rick from the hardware store did not kill the unknown man found in the back of his truck.
Stephanie comes up with crazy ideas to help them get at the truth,
Tatters is a big dog that plays a role throughout the book,
The real culprit was apparent to me due to over the top behavior, A Sinister Sense is the second book in a mildly paranormal cozy mystery series, A Ravens Nest Bookstore Mystery series.
I am enjoying the characters, Clara Quinn, her mother, Jessie, and the others, In this book, Rick, Claras love interest, is framed for murder and Clara investigates to clear him, much as she did in the first book for Molly.
Clara acquires a new sidekick in this outing, Tatters, a loveable but slightly nuts dog, I love the theme and the small town setting, The mystery plot was not as strong in this book as the first, there was really only one suspect put forth, but the other elements were good.
I will read another in this series, .
