Resumen del Editor

When an FBI Internal Affairs investigation lands the Preternatural Crimes Unit in a bureaucratic spank-fest, it feels like the perfect time for Marnie Baranuik to skip town and lend her expertise to a bear-sized Canadian cop who doesn't want her help with his case, his love life, or his car stereo.

Back in her childhood stomping grounds, Marnie leaps into action, facing an exorcist in skinny jeans, a slap-happy specter, and an old friend up to new tricks. Are ghosts behind a string of unusual deaths? Why didn't her revenant companion, Lord Harry Dreppenstedt, tell her he had a Combat Butler? Can she survive dinner with her parents?

With a shifty man of the cloth offering her soul's redemption, and a revelation that could change the future of her love life, she has her gloved hands full. She may not make a great first impression, but no one makes a last impression quite like Marnie.

Just too wonderful for words.

Scary, great 👍 characters as usual and a terrific story line. Warms my love of the paranorma l. Makes me laugh and read on.

Excellent, fun and interesting

I'm really enjoying this series, although I dont know why the series was removed from Audible, I had recommended these books to several people and they were removed. Very disappointing. Amy McFadden is an absolutely amazing narrator, I actually went on to look for books narrated by her. She's up there with Stephen Fry and Scott Brick

!!Great Series by the Awesome A.J. AALTO!!

A must get! This book is perfectly narrated by Amy McFadden!😊
She definitely brings the characters alive and believable.

AMAZING!!!

I seriously cannot believe how amazing this series is! it literally has made this author my favorite ! even better then Kim Harrison!

lots of laughing out loud for me

oh my gosh I adore marnie being in Canada. the weirdo ex priest is mega odd and creepy so spot on for the author if thats what shes going for because i totally dont trust or like him at all.

I adore the Canadian cop! so so much more than batton and her inner monolauge of obsession with batton is so much less it is fantastic . I love that marnie is trying to stay positive for her friend back in Colorado ( can't remember his name) her relationship with Harry in this book seems to be growing deeper and the connection is good!

I have laughed out loud so many times the snark is extra creative. what I didn't like in the past book with Harry has been amazingly fixed in this book ( streams of weird language I couldn't understand the inferred meaning of). I'm liking meeting marnies other family members and try to get some connection back with them.
( not done with the audiobook yet but loving it so much more than the previous one)

the performance of the narrator is pretty good but the accents are a smidgen off in this book where the previous books she did better with the inflection and accents of the side characters. Still i dont want to take away fom her and the way she does Harry and marnie it is so how I hear them in my head!

Who You Gonna Call?

That's right. In the third novel about Marnie Baranuik, she's dealing with ghosts, in Canada, in freaking winter! Not only that, she's challenged by Harry's butler to not swear. It was so much fun reading AN Aalto's clever writing as Marnie does her best not to swear, since each one costs her $1,000! There's also much less grossness in this book. What became more clear, perhaps because she was away from Batten, is that Marnie uses sarcasm, vulgarity and rudeness as armor to hide his vulnerable she really is. Because we meet Marnie's parents, we get to see and feel how deeply she's been hurt by her family legalizing her. She was only 17 when she became Harry's Daysitter, and that on the heels of the death of her beloved grandmother, the only member of her family who loved and accepted Marnie exactly as she was. She has never regretted becoming Harry's daytime guardian; however, as I read the book, I could feel how much Marnie ached to have her family's acceptance, approval and love. The Canadian cop, Who Marnie nicknamed Longshanks, was so gentle with her after she freaked out because she fell in the "dead people" water. He also was through her facade and nicknamed her cinderblock. It was nice to see her work with a man she didn't list after. I find myself wondering where her on again, off again relationship with Batten is going to go. She's madly in list with him, yet she lists after Harry, too. She has admitted she loves Harry, yet her feelings for Mark are intense. I look forward to seeing what happens in Wrath and Bones. As before, Amy McFadden brings Marnie to full, glorious life, filling her with snark and heart in equal measure. As touching as it was to read Marnie's reaction when she fell in the "dead people" water, it was even more so hearing Amy give voice to all the emotions Marnie was feeling. I love this series, the author and the narrator! The create magic together!

love this series

In my opinion this book series is very well written. But Definitely for adults . The humor written into the story is wonderful. The narrator is excellent! I know that later on I will most likely listen to the books again.

Tickles me

Something about the immature, foul mouthed, overly horny dialogue in this series makes me laugh out loud repeatedly. The narrator is awesome. If you are offended by foul language this isn’t the book for you, but I’m not and this character tickles me. I’m excited for the next.

loved it

makes me laugh out loud , narration is great . story is fun. just disappointed Audible doesn't have the next book in th3 series

ghosts and laughter

I want to learn how to swear just like Marnie. This was a fast paced romp of a ghost story with a great Canadian accent.
