Her Lonely Soul by S.A. Dunphy

 Tessa and the Burns Unit are back!  This time they're off to Galway to deal with small town drama, police corruption and possible ESP in a child!

Poor Ellie.  When we first meet her she is terrified of the "dreams" she has.  Dreams which appear to be foretelling of murders to come.  Tessa and Co don't give much thought to them as dreams but how else could a young girl have access to that information, and before they happened?

Bring on one hard-nosed, incorruptible Sgt who thinks the best way to get through to her is to lock her in the local secure child unit!  Then add in the weirdly hippie/tech guru dad and his job at a local tech company and a rash of teenagers and other youngsters who seem to have a complex relationship with some local shadowy uberbaddie!

Tessa, Danny, Maggie and Pavlov are back at their best mystery solving selves.  However, as in most things their professional achievements can leave them lacking in other areas.  I really hoped that Tessa and her coastie would have worked things through, 'cos every hard charging cop needs someone to go home to at night!  Even if it's just a goldfish, we're left with their relationship on a bit of a "shoogly peg".

The faceless mercenaries are back and still causing trouble for our intrepid trio.  I really was stumped as to who the overarching badguy was, I did manage to guess bits of the plot but I also sadly thought one of the goodies may actually have been a baddie! LOL  The red herrings and twists and turns kept me guessing which I really enjoyed.

As the story unfolds more layers of duplicity are revealed and some are quite shocking, especially about who does the revealing!
