When geologist Petra Cloch takes a job curating rocks and minerals at a quirky New Mexico history museum, she hopes for a quiet life surrounded by stones instead of people.
Then she touches a crystal covered in someone else’s terror.
Everyone says Petra’s predecessor died in a tragic car accident. But the violent emotions lingering inside the crystal tell a different story. Petra has spent her entire life hiding her psychic ability to sense emotions from objects, and she refuses to trust visions over evidence.
Unfortunately, the deeper she digs into the museum’s secrets, the clearer it becomes that someone is lying.
Between eccentric coworkers, suspicious book club members, and a sheriff who keeps turning up at exactly the wrong moments, Petra finds herself tangled in a murder investigation that’s growing more dangerous by the day.
Because if her predecessor was killed, the murderer may not be finished.
Perfect for fans of paranormal cozy mysteries, amateur women sleuths, small-town secrets, and quirky investigative mysteries with heart and humor.
Previously Released as A Stone Cold Murder.

Petra Cloch thought solving one murder would make life simpler.
Instead, another suspicious death lands at her feet.
When retired petroleum engineer Frank Underwood dies after ranting about a strange desert discovery, most people assume old age and paranoia finally caught up with him. But Petra’s friend Liberty isn’t convinced. Frank had become secretive, frightened, and obsessed with something hidden deep in the New Mexico desert.
Something he may have died protecting.
Petra reluctantly joins the investigation, using her hidden psychic ability to read emotions lingering on objects while trying to keep her dangerous gift secret. As clues lead from geological clubs to inheritance disputes to rumors of aliens and buried discoveries, Petra realizes someone will do anything to keep the truth hidden.
Including killing again.
With the help of her growing circle of friends, Petra must uncover what Frank discovered before the killer decides she knows too much.
Perfect for fans of paranormal cozy mysteries, amateur sleuth adventures, and atmospheric Southwestern mysteries.
