"Another Shefford-Johnson Case"

Wanda L. Dyson's second book once again involves Zoe Shefford, now ex-psychic and also detective Josiah Johnson. This time young college girls are going missing and then showing up dead.

Zoe, who is still struggling with her new found faith and her step away from life as a psychic is attending school and trying to lead a normal life until she stumbles upon a dead body while jogging at the park. Josiah still spends his days trying to catch the bad guys along with trying to forget about his feelings for Zoe. Zoe would like nothing better than to avoid this case, however when another murder strikes a little too close to home, her and Josiah will once again join forces and try to prevent another young woman's death.

Dyson's style of writing didn't change greatly from her first book which I enjoyed a great deal however something about the suspense in this second book seemed to fall a bit short for me. The relationship that is developing between Zoe and Josiah though is something that I really enjoyed and find myself anxious for the third book for just that reason.
