No one believes her. Yet.

When Archivist Andrea Kelley scores a sweet rental in Charleston, WV, she discovers it’s already occupied. But the early rising, bacon-loving ghost of six-year-old Billie Mae makes for a tolerable roommate. Until two bodies turn up nearby and Billie Mae launches a full-fledged haunting offensive.

Scared, but determined to find the truth behind the little ghost’s murder, Andrea uses her considerable research skills and position at a powerful repository to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding Billie Mae’s death - and her mother’s confession of murder. But will Billie Mae’s antics be enough to convert her biggest skeptic to her cause?

Detective William Taka is pretty sure Andrea is losing her sanity and dragging him down with her, but he has his own troubles. He’s pissed off his superiors, relit an old feud with a formidable ex-ally, and now someone’s tracking his every move.

Caught between an increasing phantom fury and the consequences of Taka’s actions, Andrea confronts the local crime boss, the cops, the dead, and her own past to find a way forward for all of them. Can she unearth a long-hidden secret before both she and Taka end up six feet under?

It’s different.

I enjoyed the story line. It was different than most ghost stories I read. The love story is interesting.

first Elle book

I found the writing to be good. the character building was adequate. was pretty invested in the main character. kind of threw me for a loop towards the end with relationship. loved being able to guess who did it. however the narrator did something with some of the sentences where she read through them so quickly you had to rewind them just to understand what she was even saying. no inflection in The voice or in the story on some of them. I had to slow my speed down so I could understand her.

the writing was good

Great story and the way it unfolded. reader has a great voice. did not get agitating

Excellent narration of the story!

If you like mysteries with twists , ghost stories, and the wrongly dead getting justice, you will like this!

Confused

The story was convoluted. Not sure who I was rooting for SS protagonist? I guessed the murderers but the story took forever to get it there? The five mile clue very confusing as tonwhy added like they needed a ghost clue? I tolerate mind candy but not well I’ll read the next cause I got it already.
