Book review: Out of the Darkness (Joe Cavelli, Paranormal PI Book 2), by Darcia Helle
Out of the Darkness by Darcia HelleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Out of the Darkness" is the second book in a series. "Into the Light", the first book introduced us to Joe Cavelli who has an interesting talent, he's a private investigator who can communicate with ghosts. If you haven't read the first book, I would highly recommend it. It's memorable and one of my favourite Darcia Helle novels. Just like "Into the Light", "Out of the Darkness" contains a lot of humour as well as some thought-provoking literature. This is an author who digs deep into her characters and the way they behave, seemingly always looking for the reasons behind their actions.
In "Out of the Darkness" Joe is faced with a new mystery when he's contacted by the spirit of a man named Gus. Gus wants to know why he is stuck in a black void and wants to find a way out. Joe then begins to help Gus's spirit, trying to find out what happened to him. This does not seem to be a straightforward case and isn't easy to solve. There are many surprising twists and turns until the final satisfying conclusion.
There are elements of fantasy, mystery, and suspense in this novel. It is a complex story containing many intriguing characters, seamlessly woven into an attention-grabbing and entertaining work of fiction.

Fair review. Sounds like an utterly distasteful book if it details those subjects. Shocking is one thing. Writing about those subjects just to be shocking is another. It ain't art. It's just bad taste.
