About this listen

Read by the author, Tracy Whitwell.

The Accidental Medium is the first audiobook in a hilarious series from Tracy Whitwell featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, is about to become an unwilling crime-solver.

'Spooky and hilarious and brimming with oddball characters, I love this book!' – Mandasue Heller

Tanz is a wine-loving, straight-talking, once-successful TV actress from Gateshead, whose career has shrivelled like an antique walnut. She is still grieving for her friend Frank, who died in a car crash three years ago, and she has to find a normal job in London to fund her cocktail habit. When she starts work in a ‘new age’ shop, Tanz suddenly discovers that the voices she’s hearing in her head are real, not the first signs of madness, and that she can give people ‘messages’ from beyond the grave. Alarmed, she confronts her little mam and discovers she is from a long line of psychic mediums.

Despite an exciting new avenue of life opening up to Tanz, darkness isn’t far away and all too soon there’s murder in the air . . .

Critic Reviews

Spooky and hilarious and brimming with oddball characters, I love this book! (Mandasue Heller, author of Running Scared)
I loved The Accidental Medium. A hilarious journey into a ghostly world of psychics and the like that’s guaranteed to put you in high spirits. I’m no clairvoyant but, trust me, this medium is about to go large! (Trevor Wood, author of The Man on the Street)
Compelling, wasp-tongued and very funny (Caroline Smailes, author of The Drowning of Arthur Braxton)

If I had to choose a word to describe this book it would be hilarious. or mysterious. or intriguing. But I won't stop at 1 word so they all apply! I loved this book and have found in Tanz a down to earth, cracker of a lady who is a straight shooter. I'd love her to be my spirit guide!

I was attracted by the front cover and realised that I have number 2 in this series in my TBR pile. I so wanted this to be good as it sounded fantastic in the blurb. I also read that the narrator was actually the author which gave me mixed feelings as on the upside they know how to pronounce all their character names correctly and when to emphasize certain words in a sentence. On the downside, most authors are much better at authoring and not as crash hot on the actual narrating. Tracy Whitwell blew me away as the most amazing author to narrate their own book that there ever was! I loved her! So much so, that I am not going to read number 2 or 3 but I will hunt down audio copies and listen with delight to those. Number 4 is due soon and I am busting to get my hands on that!

The story line was a bit segmented in a way that the first bit was all flowing about Tanz, her gift and how she got on with various aspects. The murder didn't happen until half way through. I was absolutely ok with this as it seemed more natural than a book that only revolves around one happenstance. The characters were very detailed and I liked them all, even Mr Weasely McWeaselface in the end. Tracy did an amazing job on the different accents and personalities of each character.

I adore the subject of mediums and spirituality and find that there aren't enough books around on the subject, especially fiction, not with a down to earth person that finds themselves to have this gift.
5 stars from me and on to the next one!!

funny and fabulous
