Travel Agent Leda Foley is finding her business is taking off. Well, her businesses, actually, She takes care of her travel clients, but she has also started taking clients who are interested in channeling her psychic powers towards helping them find something, or someone, that’s gone missing. Enter Dan, who is concerned because his sister has been missing for weeks.

She is a corporate landscaper and was last seen on the job site. It’s a large open area that will become shops and apartments, and Robin is planning all the plants and greens. She had been leaving the space when she disappeared, along with $30,000 in cash that she was about to take to the bank. While those closest to her don’t think she would just disappear with the money, there are those who wonder.

Meanwhile, Seattle detective Grady Merritt has lost his dog. He had been hiking with the dog and his daughter Molly in a nearby national park, and their dog Cairo just disappeared on them. They called for him and asked everyone they saw if anyone saw the dog, but no one had. Grady and Molly went back to the park the next weekend to try to find him. Molly is handing out flyers and asking everyone if they’ve seen him, when he finally reappears.

With a leg. A human leg.

Grady calls the local authorities and makes a deal with them that he will retrieve anything that comes out of the dog for the next couple of days in order to get Cairo back home. The local police brush him well for clues and send him back home with Grady and Molly. But apparently he had more than just a le in his mouth because the next day, they find a wedding band that had gone through his system.

Grady takes the ring to Leda, to see if her psychic powers get a hit, and while she can’t figure out what she’s seeing, she does decide to call around to local jewelry stores to see if anyone remembers engraving the quote. Her calls work, and she finds the jeweler, which leads them to a name. The ring turns out to belong to Paul, a professor and the husband of Robin, who had gone missing several weeks earlier.

Now that Leda’s missing person case and Grady’s found leg case are linked, they work together to fill in the missing pieces. But it’s not until Leda hears a couple of children playing that she starts to piece together what happened to this couple and how to capture those responsible.

Flight Risk is the second novel in the Booking Agents series. Author Cherie Priest has created these amazing characters, and she writes a tautly plotted mystery that is filled with humor and warmth. Leda may be a psychic, but she’s smart about it, exercising her muscles with her karaoke, taking items from the crowd and selecting a song for the person based on what she feels from the item. As she practices, she finds it easier to understand her flashes when she’s trying to solve crimes, which is just so smart of her.

I love Leda, her best friend Niki, and all her friends at Castaways, the bar where she does her karaoke. The way Leda and Niki make themselves so comfortable with Grady and his colleagues is hilarious, and the relaxed vibe of the book just makes Seattle come to life in these scenes. I love the camaraderie of Flight Risk and the gentle crime-solving. I can’t wait until it’s time for Leda to create another trip for me to take!
