I'm so mad at myself for not reading THE REMAINS OF THE DEAD sooner! It's been sitting in my to-be-read pile for months, and I'm so sad I missed out all this time! Once I started reading I couldn't stop, and read this one in the course of a day.

Sadie Novak, owner of Scene-2-Clean (a business that cleans up after violent or unattended deaths), has the ability to see ghosts. Usually, she's quite happy to help them "cross over" to the other side. But while dealing with a clean-up after a horrible murder-suicide, Sadie suddenly finds herself embroiled in a mystery.

Things quickly spiral out of control - she's accused of theft, the tires of her company van are slashed, she's even shot at - and Sadie realizes that she's going to have to work hard to clear her name, and the reputation of her business.

This is such a great read! I love cozy mysteries, and this one, with its added paranormal element, is just so good! I loved the supporting characters, especially Zack and Madame Maevra, and hope to see more of them in the next book, which I'm starting later today.

If you like a good mystery with a dab of the paranormal (there's even a twist at the end of the book that I didn't see coming!), then definitely invest in picking up a copy of THE REMAINS OF THE DEAD!
