About this listen

Medical-school-dropout police detective Richelle Dadd is...well, dead.

But that won't stop her from trying to hold on to her house in a divorce battle with a bitter husband. Or keep her from digging into her own murder, to discover who put the bullet into her heart. Or from coming to terms with her Gypsy heritage. And it certainly won't stand in the way of finding out the reason she's been reanimated as a zombie assassin, no longer in control of her life.

Richelle will face off against Romani shamans, double-crossing ghosts, a partner she can't trust, and her own undead nature in a journey into the depths of the occult world and out the other side without losing her sense of humor - or humanity - along the way.

It's a good thing her deductive skills - and her aim - are still up to par.

Quite a bit unbelievable!
However the story strung me along, just because it was so out there.
The authors’ minds have an interesting take on life after death.

this was such a wierd experience. if it had been a book i doubt i would've got past a few chapters, but i like ilyana from her twilight performance so i guess that dragged me to the end. there were enough novel and interesting elements in the storyline and characters to keep me engaged, but honestly, it was quite awful and i doubt i will be interested in reading any future books if there are any.

so strange...

The ‘book’ was a little hard to get into but I persevered and I’m glad I did. Good combination of a detective story with the supernatural and with a very satisfactory ending.

Unique storyline
