Summary

Dying is what changed Mary O'Reilly's life. Well, actually, coming back from the dead and having the ability to communicate with ghosts is really what did it.

Now, a private investigator in rural Freeport, Illinois, Mary's trying to learn how to incorporate her experience as a Chicago cop and new-found talent into a real job. Her challenge is to solve the mysteries, get real evidence (a ghost's word just doesn't hold up in court), and be sure the folks in town, especially the handsome new police chief, don't think she's nuts.

Twenty-four years ago, a young woman drowned in the swimming pool of a newly elected state senator. It was ruled an accident. But now, as the senator prepares to move on to higher positions, the ghost of the woman is appearing to the Senator's wife.

Mary is hired to discover the truth behind the death. She unearths a connection between the murder and the disappearance of five little girls whose cases, 24 years later, are still all unsolved. As she digs further, she becomes the next target for the serial killers' quest to tie up all his loose ends.

Interesting idea. Not best narrator though.

Reading the summary this sort of book is right up my alley.

Overall for the first in a series it was oaky. Nothing outstanding, but there are certainly worse books out there.

Unfortunately it was let down by the narrator. Most of the monologue was delivered in the same tone. There were also long pauses in odd places. Places where I'd expect comma's were read as though they had a full stop (period to none UK folks). Given I don't have the written version it is hard to know if that is bad editing from the book, or if it's a bad recording.

Narration aside I have decided to give the next two books in the series a go, and see how they pan out.

A winner for me

Whilst reading/listening to Ann Charles fabulous Deadwood series, I heard Natalie recommend Terri Reid to the main character Violet. If Ann Charles has added Terri Reid in her narrative, then it must be good. So pleased I bought both ebook and audiobook, a great read / listen for me and enjoyed Erin Spencer’s narration, however, Erin’s Irish accent might need a little fine tuning.

I love paranormal fiction but not this one

I suppose I have been spoiled by the likes of Harry Dresden and the phil rickman novels but I found this very predictable and it didn't hold my attention. I think younger listeners will enjoy it
