Short description
When publicist Kathleen Harrison is executed in her suburban home, the obvious suspect is her client and lover George Wynton, a known telepath. Boston attorney Dan Stevens is hired to defend George, but he has no use for telepaths, and so hands the investigative reins to Morrison Investigations.
Fledgling private investigators Darcy and Olivia Morrison reluctantly agree to help Dan with the case.

Darcy and Olivia Morrison are telepaths, but if they use their power they will be caught by the Telepathic Corps, taken away and never heard from again.
Everywhere they look they see people suffering, both telepath and normal, and feel compelled to help. Traditional avenues - police, fire, medicine - are unavailable to them because these professions test for telepathy. Undaunted, they opened their own private investigation firm.

I was disappointed with The Shattered Door by Lisa Bouchard. The book started incredibly slowly and, honestly, did not become entertaining until about half way through. The characters were a bit flat, and some were downright unlikable. The plot had some interesting twists, but by the time they actually happened, I had pretty much given up enjoying this book. I sincerely hope the next book is more engaging than The Shattered Door, because I think the author has a good premise, it just wasn't actualized.
