Publisher's summary

The fourth in Darynda Jones' fun and sexy New York Times bestselling paranormal series: "If you enjoy Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, you will certainly enjoy Charley Davidson!" —Suspense Magazine

Sometimes being the grim reaper really is that. Grim. And since Charley's last case went so awry, she has taken a couple months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to force herself to rise above. Or at least get dressed. She quickly realizes something is amiss when everyone the woman knows swears she's insane. The more they refute the woman's story, the more Charley believes it.

In the meantime, the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, has been cleared of all charges. He is out of prison and out of Charley's life, as per her wishes and several perfectly timed death threats. But his absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life. While there are other things to consider, like the fact that the city of Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist, Charley is having a difficult time staying away. Especially when it looks like Reyes may be involved.

In Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet, just when life was returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment, and the devil in blue jeans.

Critic reviews

“Lorelei King brings everyone's favorite Grim Reaper back to snarky life in this fourth addition to Darynda Jones's engrossing series…King is in her element voicing Charley and manages to make her every pun and sarcastic retort crackle with life while exploring the emotional nuances of her troubled relationships and romances.” —AudioFile Magazine

“Narrator Lorelei King is excellent as the voice of Charley and equally adept at portraying all the characters.” —Library Journal

Charlie Davidson is sassy, making a great listen.

As with the other three books, this is such a great listen. It is really fun and her character is so sassy and sarcastic, but still fun loving. The series is a must if this is your genre. Lorelei King, the narrator, is a blast and brings tons of laughs to the characters. You will enjoy this book.

another great one

The only struggle with thus book was putting it down! There were a couple of surprises in it!! I'm ready for the next one.

The best yet....

Love these books. They have so much going on, humor compassion, mystery and romance. Lorelei King narrates superbly. She is my favorite narrator....this series is wonderful...

Wow!! Wow!!!! Wow!!!!

Love Charlie!!! I listened to books 1 through 3 earlier this year and eagerly awaited book 4.
I was NOT disappointed!
To prepare I listened to books 1 – 3 again and I am so glad I did! This is a series you must listen to in order. Darynda Jones writes books you can definitely listen to more than once.
Charlie Davidson is a great character, sarcastic and cares deeply. Love how Darynda starts each chapter with a tee shirt or bumper sticker quote! The love story between Reyes and Charlie is intense!
Lorelei King is just THE BEST!
I would highly recommend this series! If you are a fan of authors like Molly Harper, JR Ward, or Nalini Singh you will love Darynda Jones!

In love with this series, and can't get enough!

loved it! can't wait to read the next book, wish the prices were a little cheaper tho!

Book 4

Funny, witty, interesting, adventurous story of Charlie Davidson who comes off as a bumbling idiot when in reality she is anything but. Highly entertaining story.

Give it a try

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes, I thought it was well written, and quiet different than normal supernatural. No vampires in this one.

Any additional comments?

good job, and a fun read

This series just keeps getting better and better..

This is the fourth book in the Charley Davidson series. There are currently ten book in the series with the eleventh book, Eleventh Grave in Moonlight, schedule to release in Jan 2017. Each book in this series has been even better than the previous one. I am really loving this series; it’s hilarious, heartfelt, has a lot of great action, some nifty paranormal elements, and is full of action and mystery.

I listened to this on audiobook and it was awesome. King does a wonderful job with narration; she sounds exactly like I imagine Charley would and does an amazing job with all the character voices. I would highly recommend listening to this on audiobook if you listen to audiobooks.

Charley is dealing with some serious issues (after the whole being tortured thing) in some hilarious ways (addicted to Home Shopping Network). When she finally does venture outside again she finds herself with a new case and reason to creep back outside her apartment and join the rest of the world.

As with previous books Charley ends up getting involved in a few cases and mysteries which end up dovetailing together as the story progresses. The broader story also makes some progress; we learn (and see) more about the demons introduced in the last book. Reyes is in the story quite a bit and him and Charley get a lot more...ummm...face time.

I continue to enjoy a lot of the side characters just as well as the main ones. There is a new character in the story named Quentin who I hope we see in future books. I also loved the woman who hires Charley to solve her case. Of course Angel, Uncle Bob, Cookie, and Amber are all here as well and I love them all. Charley’s sister is in the story a lot more this time too. There is also Charley’s new guardian Artemis...what a sweetie!

The book is well written with lots of hilarious snark throughout. There is tons of witty dialogue and completely off the wall observations by our attention disabled heroine. I love it soo much. As with previous books all the excitement leaves Charley to discovering a bit more about her powers as the Grim Reaper.

Overall a wonderful installment in this series! This is quickly becoming one of my favorite urban fantasy series. I just love the characters, the mystery, the paranormal elements, and the writing style so much. I can’t wait to see what book 5 holds!

Love this story

You had me at Albuquerque I love that you write about my home town. You keep me interested easy read. The only thing that bothers me is some the pronunciation of some of the local names and places.

Great Series

Would you listen to Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet again? Why?

This series is wonderful! Full of mystery, comedy, romance and suspense! Who knew books about a grim ripper could be so witty!
