Meet David Randall, a private investigator. He's at the end of his second marriage -- his wife has thrown him out. He's also ready to quit working for his small-time, dead-end agency and head out on his own. David has suffered tragedy in the death of his daughter in a car accident a few years earlier and is still grieving and suffering from guilt (he thinks he could have saved her). All this and he's only 30 years of age.

This musical mystery set in a languid North Carolina town features a down-on-his luck detective trying to start his own agency. Dealing with personal demons and a failing marriage, David Randall moves into a big house with his psychic friend Camden and an ever-changing roster of interesting (David would say good-for-nothing) house guests. David doesn't want to stay, but his business picks up and he could use the office space the big house provides. While looking into a murder of a man with a not...more
David Randall is a down-and-out private investigator, who can't have the one thing he wants: his dead daughter alive again. He temporarily moves in with his friend Camden, a psychic whose big house is full of eccentric boarders who can't pay rent. Several people hire Randall, one who wants an unsolved historic mystery solved, but he's also concerned about Camden, whose girlfriend wants to exploit his psychic powers, and who seems to be coming increasingly under the sway of a dead man who is invo...more

I always like it when the psychics are men. This is almost a buddy story, told by the POV of a PI, David Randall, who teams up with his friend Camden to solve a mystery music theft from 60 years before. I liked the twists and turns, the side story about the missing locket, and the lively characters sharing Camden's house. There were a couple of tear jerker moments about the tragedy in David's past which I liked too. Am about a third through the second one and look forward to more
This was an okay mystery, but just not really for me. It did get the Southern setting down, but the cast was filled with good-looking twenty-somethings, which is fine except that instead of just letting it be the main character spent his time commenting on, describing, and lusting after all the women he passed, and the relationships (or lack thereof) were as much of a focus as the mystery. So...no thanks.
Cotton candy mystery - sweet, but unsatisfying. Despite major tragedy, surprisingly shallow main character. Sidekicks are two dimensional, also. Loads of hoakum taken straight.
Contrary to what you might think from the name, this is not a love story. A light-hearted murder mystery.
Good story, but it skips over heard at a time when I'd really like to read more about certain plot lines. Not crazy about the ending either.
It was a light mystery with a little supernatural thrown in. It was OK for a little light reading.
An easy series of light mystery - nothing too gruesome or suspenseful. Likable characters. I enjoy the characters and hope the next books in the series will flesh out more of Kari, David, and Camden. As for the "mystery" I'd figured it out very early on but was interested in how Ms. Tesh wove the story.
