Review of The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley

The Firebird picks up the story of Anna Moray (daughter of John Moray and Sophia McClelland) where it left off in The Winter Sea. The novel weaves this historical storyline with a new contemporary one that features Londoner art gallery curator Nicola Marter and Scottish policeman Rob McMorran, an ex-lover. Both characters are psychic which is how they are able to see into the past life of Anna.
Nicola has a talent for "seeing" the history of pieces of artwork so when she meets a woman who has a piece of artwork that she insists has a connection to the Russian Empress Catherine, Nicola sees the past and believes her. She hooks back up with Rob who helps her develop her psychic powers and unravel the mystery.
