Publisher's summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, Jana DeLeon, the third book in the Ghost-in-Law mystery/romance series.

Family can be the death of you.…

Who killed Helena Henry? The shorter list may be who didn’t want her dead. Psychic Raissa Bordeaux thought she’d left her former life behind, hidden away in her eclectic shop in the French Quarter. But when a child is kidnapped and Helena Henry appears, Raissa risks her true identity by offering the police help with the case. New Orleans Detective Zach Blanchard doesn’t believe in psychic hooey and is certain Raissa didn’t get her facts about the case from a crystal ball. He suspects her of something besides being the most intriguing and attractive woman he’s ever come across. But when Raissa’s secrets put her in danger, can Zach convince her to trust him with the truth before it’s too late?

Fabulous series!!!

I am still loving this series! This is the third book and this time we get to be front row for Raissa's HEA. I was ready for this after the mystery about her in the end of the last book.

Turns out Raissa is all kinds of awesome!! I am talking seriously cool hacker super spy type fantastic! I think she is my fav heroine so far in the series!

Zach is her match as a yummy detective. Love their banter!! Raissa is a very naughty girl, in all the most fun ways! I had a great time reading their dynamic relationship!

This is a mixed narrative, so you get both the leads POV alternately. There are also bits from the supporting cast and the bad guy.

This is different from most cozy mysteries, it has a large romance quotient and that bedroom door is wide open! Not as much detail as an erotic read, but far from squeaky clean.

The mystery has many levels, it is so strange how everything is so connected. But it is a cozy, so you go with it.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Johanna Parker, who has a wonderful read. She keeps the southern accents light, for the most part. I love the swift pace to her read and the energy she brings to the words. All the voices have been distinct and were consistent throughout the book. She has been a delight throughout the series!

I was a little upset that Hank does not get his own HEA book, but rather a side romance in this book. Boo, he has worked hard to redeem himself and deserved at least a novella.

Disclosure - I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts opinions and ratings are my own.

*** If you found this review at all helpful, please take a moment to let me know. I love reading and sharing my opinions with other readers. I listen at double speed, all my impressions of the narration are from that setting. Thanks for taking the time to read my review!

Suspense and Laughter

Suspense and plenty of laughter. This book was the most suspenseful out of the series. Of course there were plenty of things you knew may happen but not all. A fun read!

Fun Listen

This is an enjoyable read. One of those weekend reads. Quirky characters, good narration, with a hint of sex is always a good read.

Fantastic narrator and storyline

One of the best narrators I’ve listened to. Good plot. Entertaining and hope-filled. Reminder of what is truly important in life.

Thought It Would Never End

It’s so hard to believe that this is the same author who would go on to produce the Miss Fortune series. Her writing improved a ton between the Ghost-in-Law & Miss Fortune books. The GIL series is disappointing. Every book has people with cancer, an insta-romance that’s very midfle school, a graphic sex scene, illogical paranormal events (how does a solid object pass through a wall just because a ghost is holding it?), & a never-ending mystery that involves way too many characters & too many twists & subplots. Missing the humor, charm, & strong female characters of the Miss Fortune series.

Love the series. Helena is the best ghost ever. I’d love to have one of her on my side.
