I like cozies, but dont think this is really a cozy or a paranormal as most expect. Yes, Fahey is a ghost, but he doesnt speak to our heroine Maggie or to anyone for that matter. He cant be seen or heard. A few odd balls see him but overall he can only feel the emotions and experience the memories in the mind of the living. He is aimless and cant even communicate with any other ghosts. It is not cutesy. It is deep and brooding and dark, but in the best way possible. The murderer is evil and brutal, and you know who that person is midway into the story. The rest of the story is just Maggie trying to apprehend the bad guy without getting killed. I think this is well written and will be well received by lovers of the genres, mysteries and paranormals. Highly recommended to be put on the top of your TBR pile. I am looking forward to book 2.
