Angel in the Dark — Catherine Dain

Mariana Morgan, unraveled by her husband's "random" murder and the loss of her job, turns to the psychic world, not so much to find her husband's murderer as to regain some order in her life. She joins a meditation group, consults a psychic channeler, then learns she's a healer and asks for angelic help. She ultimately develops her healing powers to pursue a killer who attacks through the psyche. The intriguing New Age subject matter (including flaky characters and at least one fatal "accident") is related in smooth, down-to-earth prose; from the author of the Freddie Neal mysteries.
