About this listen

Read by the author, Tracy Whitwell.

The Accidental Medium is the first audiobook in a hilarious series from Tracy Whitwell featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, is about to become an unwilling crime-solver.

'Spooky and hilarious and brimming with oddball characters, I love this book!' – Mandasue Heller

Tanz is a wine-loving, straight-talking, once-successful TV actress from Gateshead, whose career has shrivelled like an antique walnut. She is still grieving for her friend Frank, who died in a car crash three years ago, and she has to find a normal job in London to fund her cocktail habit. When she starts work in a ‘new age’ shop, Tanz suddenly discovers that the voices she’s hearing in her head are real, not the first signs of madness, and that she can give people ‘messages’ from beyond the grave. Alarmed, she confronts her little mam and discovers she is from a long line of psychic mediums.

Despite an exciting new avenue of life opening up to Tanz, darkness isn’t far away and all too soon there’s murder in the air . . .

Critic reviews

Spooky and hilarious and brimming with oddball characters, I love this book! (Mandasue Heller, author of Running Scared)
I loved The Accidental Medium. A hilarious journey into a ghostly world of psychics and the like that’s guaranteed to put you in high spirits. I’m no clairvoyant but, trust me, this medium is about to go large! (Trevor Wood, author of The Man on the Street)
Compelling, wasp-tongued and very funny (Caroline Smailes, author of The Drowning of Arthur Braxton)

I’ve listened to hundreds of books and only been inspired to write one review - this!
As a true Geordie living in the midlands I can’t tell you how much joy this book has given me. If I had ‘identi-kitted’ my perfect pleasure listen, this would be it! Ghosts, lovable characters, fabulous humour and a genuine Geordie accent.
Please write more with haste pet! lol

Loved it!
