From Publishers Weekly

Fans of Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax series will welcome this tantalizing sequel to The Clairvoyant Countess (1975), whose psychic heroine is adept at psychometry, "the faculty of divining knowledge about an object or a person connected with it through contact with the object." Here Madame Karitska and her friend on the Trafton police force, Detective Lieutenant Pruden, share a series of adventures in which they confront the heartless killer of a talented young violinist, save a deaf-mute child from the accusations of her supposed benefactress, help a spoiled heiress find a purpose in life and assist a timid artist to gain confidence and fame. A travel writer suffering from a mysterious illness, a beautiful little boy who can't speak and, finally, Roger Gillespie, an intelligence officer on the trail of a rogue genius who plans doomsday from his headquarters at an electronics company in Maine all bring their pains and problems to Madame Karitska's shabby brownstone, where they find not only solace and solutions but frequently soul mates among her other clients. One wonders if the author herself is psychic, for the mad scientist's plan to bring the world to a halt bears an uncanny resemblance to the unfolding terror of the past few months. Hopefully, Gilman won't wait another quarter century before she brings back Madame Karitska, if nothing else to explain the sudden, rather stingy ending of this fascinating, kaleidoscopic potpourri.

From Library Journal

Madame Karitska's trade as a fortune-teller attracts a strange array of clients, including an artistic woman whose husband abandons her to join a religious cult and an Italian immigrant with a "cursed" child. Karitska also helps her good friend, Detective-Lieutenant Pruden, solve the hit-and-run death of a young violinist and the murder of a local philanthropist. Her most troubling case, however, occurs when a subway incident leaves her with an attache case full of diamonds. This well-written, episodic adventure, with a generous and charming Old World heroine who first appeared 25 years ago in The Clairvoyant Countess, will appeal to many, especially fans of Gilman's Mrs. Polifax series.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Enjoyable fluff, Juil 15 2004
Par Mary L. Seward (Livermore, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Fun and undemanding, this sequel to the Clarivoyant Countess is definitely "lite" reading, but enjoyable if you disengage your sense of disbelief before starting. Some inconsistencies with the first story annoyed me, (in Kaleidoscope Madam Karitska explains why she does not have and will not get a phone, yet in the first book she does have a phone. And how does one make appointments in this day and age without one?)

Don't expect a great literary experience, but it's not an unpleasant way to spend some time. I recommend it for "waiting reading": suitable for airports, doctors' offices, etc.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very Lightweight Fun, Mai 30 2004
Par Louis M. Perdue (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I rated this book four stars but thought about giving it only three as I read it in about 2 hours one rainy Sunday. This is the second appearance of Madame Karitska, her first being in "The Clairvoyant Countess."
It is more of a series of very short stories with psychic Karitska being the tie that binds them together. Most of the stories are told without a lot of characterization, but that did not distract me too much. For some reason, maybe having read every fiction book that Ms. Gilman has written helped, I was able to color the characters myself and they did not seem so one-dimensional.
I would recommend this book to those fans of Gilman's, especially if they enjoyed the first book from years ago that featured Karitska.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Kinder, Gentler Mystery, Janv. 8 2004
Par JodyBug (Kentucky, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I loved this book! I read the criticism from other readers and I understand what they mean about the book being rather simplistic, maybe not the most suspensful ever written. I am a big fan of all kinds of mysteries from English cozies to the most hard-core serial killer books. No, this book may not be for everyone but sometimes you need a break from the "heavy" stuff and this was sort of innocent and magical. Yes, she wrapped up story lines extremely quickly but here again, sometimes it's nice to not have to read 500 pages for some type of resolution. As far as the characters all being too nice or good to be true maybe they are but wouldn't it be great if more people were that way? I for one am willing to suspend my disbelief. I sure hope she writes more Madame Karitska novels.
