Jayne McCartney (no relation, even though they are both from Liverpool) is a P.I. When a couple comes to her with the request that she investigate their daughter's death, Jayne is reluctant, but agrees. Although their daughter's death has been ruled a suicide, the parents believe their daughter was murdered by a ghost that had been stalking her.
Jayne feels her charge is prove the police investigation was thorough, and hopefully, to relieve the minds of the girl's parents. She doesn't believe in ghosts.
But what Jayne encounters is much more than she expected. Maybe ghosts and demons are real and deadly.
There is a handsome ex-Priest, a dead Scouse princess (new word for me; Scouse is the Liverpool accent and can be employed as adjective or noun), a vicious crime boss, some additions to Team Anti-demon, and a few murders along the way.
Crime and paranormal mix in this entertaining read. I will be interested in seeing how this series develops.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever read anything like this, with the crime and paranormal mix except with magic. I'll be interested to hear what you'll think of the rest of the series if you do read them.
ReplyDelete:) I'd be interested in seeing how the characters developed, but (as you know) there are so many series out there! And I'm already committed to so many...
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting, but I am on the fence about a paranormal mystery like this.
ReplyDeleteIt kept my attention, and I would kind of like to know what paranormal event might be involved in the next one.
ReplyDeleteFear No Evil sounds interesting. The ghost related mysteries I have read tend to be cozies, but this sounds different. I will have to keep my eye out for this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm not certain just where I'd classify this one. Maybe the next in the series will reveal a better way to categorize.
