Chaz McGee is the pseudonym for an experienced author of two mystery series writing as Katy Munger and Gallagher Gray.
It is best to read book one in this series before you read book 2. Some of the re-occurring minor characters do not get a full introduction.
I do tend to love mysteries with a ghost, more than any other cozy paranormal mystery. This one does not disappoint. Our ghost can not talk to the live characters, and cant really move things. He can cause a breeze or a spark and that is about it. Those minor skills will come in handy in the book.
In life, Kevin Fahey was a lousy father, a miserable husband, and a bottom feeder detective; who was drunk more often than he was sober. In death, he remains stuck on the mortal plane seeking redemption. He believes he needs to make reparations because of all those he harmed when he was alive. He follows the activities of his replacement highly regarded Detective Maggie Gunn.
Currently Maggie is bogged down with two complicated cases that each needs her full attention. A dead nurse is found in her home; dead by a gunshot made to look like a suicide, but Maggie realizes a murder occurred. Across the street is a park and while all attention is inside the victim's home, someone abducts a child. Add a cold case that Kevin botched of an abducted child 16 years ago.
I kinda figured out right away who killed the nurse, what happened to the boy abducted 16 years ago, who the bad guy was. No real clues gave it away, but because the book is not full of red herrings like cozies, you would logically come to the same conclusion fairly soon. The book is more of a police procedural mystery . We know who the bad guys are about 2/3 into the book and now we just have to catch them.
I gave this book 5 stars cause I couldnt find a flaw to give it less than 5 stars. It is a great book. I want to see another in the series soon. I also want to read some other works by this author and see how her writting style compares.
