Mary Kennedy - Stay Tuned for Murder

"Stay Tuned for Murder" is Mary Kennedy's third Talk Radio Mystery novel featuring radio talk show psychologist Maggie Walsh. When the series began, Maggie had just left her clinical psychology practice in New York to host a show at WYME radio in a small town in southern Florida. Although there are prior books in this series, this installment provides enough basic information about the main characters to catch up new readers. "Stay Tuned for Murder" begins with Maggie hosting her radio show along with guest Chantel Carrington, a flamboyant psychic who claims she can communicate with the dead. While Maggie doesn't trust Chantel, she agrees to attend a séance Chantel is holding at the local historical society. During the gathering, Chantel warns everyone they are in grave danger from an evil presence. The next day, one of those attendees is murdered in her own home. Is this just a coincidence or is there more to Chantel's self-proclaimed status of medium and oracle than it appears? Maggie is determined to find out more about the murder and about the mysterious "Madame Chantel." Author Mary Kennedy has a clinical psychology practice, and her experience gives credibility to the character of Maggie. Maggie occasionally references psychological theories that help her in her detecting. This makes the book and the entire series unique.
