I thoroughly enjoyed this 1st book in the "Charlie Davidson" series.
Charlie is a part-time investigator and full-time Grim Reaper.
A fun award-winning debut novel.

Paranormal books are not my forte, but darn if I didn’t love this book. Charley reminds me of Stephanie Plum - if she were the grim reaper. Charley is constantly surrounded by the dearly departed who pass through her to the other side. She is “protected” by someone she calls the Big Bad, but the entity scares her.

This book introduces us to Charley and all her sidekicks. Along the way, she helps three murdered lawyers get justice for themselves while trying to stop the state from executing someo

I really enjoyed this book. It was funny, mysterious, sexy, charming, and kept me up till the wee hours of the night. I cannot wait to continue on this journey with the quirkiest Grim Reaper I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Oh and let’s not forget the incredibly sexy, and equally mystifying Reyes Farrow. *swoon* be still my beating heart. I think i read the last 10% of this book with my mouth hanging open!! Can’t wait for more Charley and Reyes time, Oh and Cookie, ubie, Angel and Garrett!

As original as it gets. In her debut novel, Darynda Jone's has created a wisecracking, romantic heroine replete with issues and personal problems, surrounded by a cast of colorful characters and haunted by one hell of a hero who's sure to be her match. Don't miss FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT. It's a fun, breezy read full of smarts, humor and more than one twist on some of our most enduring romantic themes. Can't wait to find out what happens next. ...more

A murder mystery with a supernatural angle. Charley sees ghosts and is the Grim Reaper. She is a portal to the other side. She knows Reves Farrow shows up when bad things are happening around her but she does not know why.

I liked these characters. This is a good set-up for the series. It is a solid mystery. The world building is good with us learning as we need to know.
