About this listen

Someone is spreading rumors around Deadwood that Violet Parker likes to chat with dead folks.

With her reputation endangered, her bank account on the verge of extinction, and her career at risk of going up in flames, Violet is desperate. When the opportunity to sell another vintage home materializes, she grabs it, even though this "haunted" house was recently the stage for a two-act murder-suicide tragedy.

Ghost or no ghost, Violet knows this can't be as bad as the last house of horrors she tried to sell, but sexy Doc Nyce has serious doubts. Her only hope of hanging on to her job is to prove that the so-called ghostly sightings are merely the eccentric owner's optical delusions.

But someone - or something - in the house wants Violet stopped…dead.

This story is so well written. Great characters and good mystery that kept me interested. The narrator is fantastic.

Excellent!

It's not my favorite but it also wasn't the worst. narration was good! But the story itself... everyone just kinda was meh. Main character? Meh. Love interest? Meh (also, olive green cargo shorts and a yellow top isn't really drool worthy attire). The villains? Meh. Everyone is weirdly sexist, even the MC. And the MC just generally blows at life.
The storyline was unsurprising, no real 'OMG didn't see that coming!' moments.
All in all, probably not reaching for the next in the series.

Well, I finished it.

interesting. I dont really find a kinship with fmc at this stage. She makes heaps of stupid decisions, including what shes doing with doc and not telling her best friend making her look like a fool.

Ill continue the series because its good enough to continue with the series.
listened via audio, audio narrator was good.
