ABOUT THE BOOK
First Grave on the Right is the smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper.
Charley sees dead people. That's right, she sees dead people. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e., murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.
This is a thrilling debut novel from Darynda Jones, an exciting newcomer to the world of paranormal romantic suspense.
First Grave on the Right is the winner of the 2012 Rita Award for Best First Book.
REVIEW
I have found my new binge obsession. In First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones Charlie sees dead people with a twist. She uses her gifts as a private investigator who also helps lost souls cross over. Charlie is intelligent and capable in the situations she finds herself in. She doesn't cringe in fear expecting rescue when she's in danger, which I love in a heroine. An appropriate amount of tension is present in the story, but Charlie knows how to handle dire circumstances. Nothing feels like it comes so easy it is without risk. The supernatural elements are unique and inventive, which kept me intrigued and guessing the entire time. Topping all of it off is Charlie's fantastic wit and sarcasm. I cannot wait to devour this entire series.
