Review by Sarah Erwin

Details at the end of this post on how to enter to win a copy of the book and a link to purchase it.

Readers looking for a page-turning art mystery should pick up Bearer of Secrets book three in Nupur Tustin’s Celine Skye Psychic Mystery series. While this can be read as a stand-alone because the mystery within this story is resolved, there is an overarching plotline that ties back to previous books. I wished I had read those previously as I had to play a few minutes of catch-up. Of course, I have added the previous entries in the series to my to-be-read list!

Bearer of Secrets is based on the true story of Boston's Gardner Museum theft, which I found fascinating. Psychic art sleuth Celine Skye is still struggling with the death of a journalist and her psychic abilities sense there is danger to the journalist’s mother, Clara. As a result, her psychic abilities to help solve the Gardener theft are muddled. She begins to doubt herself and her abilities, adding tension to the story and between the characters.

However, when a stolen Degas taken eight years after the heist surfaces, new clues prompt new visions for Celine. These visions reveal many things, but intensify the feelings the Celine has that Clara is in danger. Celine, with the help of her friends at the FBI, sort through her visions and the clues they discover at a breath-taking pace.

Once I settled into the story, I could not stop turning the pages. This is a multi-layered mystery with clues stacked upon clues. I found myself second guessing who I could trust and wondering how in the world it would all come together. The pacing is thrilling and the ending nail-biting. This is an exciting and engaging read with writing that pulled me in!
