Till Life Do Us Part - A new lovely review

http://pages-intheattic.blogspot.ro/2016/09/till-life-do-us-part-carmen-stefanescu.html

Barbara Heyer has been able to communicate with the spirits of the deceased ever since she was a child. And it was while driving her car that she heard a female voice, named Kathleen, telling her she was just been murdered. Barbara did not have the chance to figure out whose voice was it until later when the news of her brother Colin’s girlfriend’s death was revealed. As a consequence, Colin became the main suspect of the crime.

Detective Patrick Fischer is assigned to the case and will team up with Barbara to prove Colin’s innocence. But in the process, what they’re about to discover goes way beyond current circumstances and they will be thrown back in time in order for them to understand why they’re together in this venture at this time.

Time passes by with no results, until Catherine, Barbara’s neighbor, comes to scene claiming she knows how to find out Kathleen’s murderer’s identity. It

appears that only a past life regression will shed some light on the matter and hopefully clear up all confusion.

The story deals with reincarnation and past lives that intertwine together since centuries ago, showing how unfinished businesses need to come to a purposed end and reach a full circle for all humans. The explanation of a recurrent dream in one’s life might be attached to a traumatic incident in a past life, as well as the reason for us to have a natural talent in certain area without apparent logical sense. Even though stated as a hypothesis, it gives you a sense of relief that everything happens for a reason.

Reviews (XXXI)

Till Life Do Us Part received another awesome review from USA bestselling author Mae Clair.
 Here it is:

A compelling novel that delves into the arena of past life regression and reincarnation. The author has put an original twist on the subject of souls crossing decades, even centuries. Barbara Heyer is gifted with the ability to communicate with spirits of the departed. But when her brother is suspected of murdering his girlfriend, Barbara’s life careens with others in ways she never expected—particularly when handsome detective Patrick Fisher is assigned to the case.

Barbara Heyer main character

The author deftly juggles multiple storylines and plots throughout this engaging novel—Barbara and Patrick, a young girl named Catherine who knows far more than possible for her age, a doomed centuries-old love affair, and deceptive dealings in Patrick’s police department. Part murder mystery, part romance, and part supernatural journey, TILL LIFE DO US PART is a book filled with multiple twists, turns, and surprising revelations. The author’s take on reincarnation is uniquely presented and richly rewarding for the reader.

When the book shifts in time, you are transported to another age, as vividly realized as present day in the author’s capable hands. The historical setting is superb, a time when just whispers of witchcraft could send someone to the stake. Tie all of these elements together for an explosive finish in the present day, and you have a riveting story that stays with you long after you close the cover.

Reviews (XXX)

Award winning  author Paulette Mahurin says in the review she wrote for Till Life Do Us Part:  Carmen Stefanescu starts out with the protagonist, retired nurse Barbara, painting flowers. It is a gift from a husband to his wife who is depressed over the loss of their son. The same son who delivers a message to Barbara from the beyond to give to his parents when she delivers the painting. The writing is rich with imagery flowing from the pages as the intriguing story line unfolds with scenes and believable dialogue that moves the story along at a good clip. Barbara delivers the painting to the couple and tells when the message from their son, which is very believable. When she leaves there she receives an image (a spiritual message) that someone named Kathleen has been murdered.

Ghost talking

 This woman happens to be Barbara’s brother Colin’s girlfriend. It is here that the plot turns into a metaphysical meets murder mystery plot and what I love about this author is that it all works. I’m reading and envisioning my own deceased family members finding a way to communicate with me and trust me I’m not a true-believer in much of anything. But hey, who knows what’s possible, that’s how good the writing is.

I know that there are psychics that work with police to solve murder mysteries here in the U.S. and I’m sure it’s not a novel idea around the world. This lends great credence to the relationship that develops between Barbara and our handsome detective. Layer upon layer of side stories and spiritual communications along with dreams—like the one in which Barbara dreams she’s another woman named Emma who is burned at the stake—give depth to the story.

Book Release Till Life Do Us Part

I am happy to let you know that my paranormal, romantic suspense Till Life Do Us Part is released today, 9th June 2016 with Solstice Publishing, USA.

Blurb

Barbara Heyer can hear voices of dead people. They whisper of their deaths, seek comfort for those left behind, and occasionally even warn her about future events. But when Barbara’s brother, Colin, is accused of murder, it will take more than her gift to prove his innocence.

Becoming smitten with the handsome investigator, Detective Patrick Fischer, is a serious complication given his assignment to her brother’s case. Barbara senses there is something far deeper—and perhaps much older—than the surface attraction between them. Could that be why she’s visited by a mysterious woman named Emma in her dreams? Could past life regression tie all the seemingly unconnected events together?

Barbara and Patrick must overcome heartache to find the truth to save Colin, and perhaps themselves.
