Recommended Read: Nearly Departed in Deadwood by Ann Charles
The last recommended read for October is Nearly Departed in Deadwood by Ann Charles.
The blurb:
“The first time I came to Deadwood, I got shot in the ass.”–Violet Parker
Little girls are vanishing from Deadwood, South Dakota, and Violet Parker’s daughter could be next. She’s desperate to find the monster behind the abductions. But if she’s not careful, Violet just might end up as one of Deadwood’s dearly departed.
Why I like it
Violet Parker has recently moved herself and her fraternal twins in with her aunt in Deadwood. She has fond memories of spending summer there as a child, and wants to give that to her kids. She’s a single mom trying to make it in a new career as a real estate agent.
With only three weeks left to make a sale before losing her job, she lands a client wanting to sell a house and another wanting to buy a house. The problem is that the house she’s trying to sell is a run-down mess, rumored to be haunted, that won’t even be ready to show by her deadline, and her buyer has weird issues when she takes him to see potential properties. She’s too desperate to turn him away, though.
Oh, and both clients are attractive men that like her.
This is a mashup that’s part paranormal, part mystery, part romance. It’s funny and entertaining, and has a cast of characters that make it memorable and worth reading the rest of the series.
For some reason, one of the characters (Wolfgang Hessler) reminds me of the guy from the Gevalia coffee commercial.
Read the book and you’ll see why that’s ruined the guy for me for life.
