This very well written mystery revolves around detective Matthew Bennett trying to solve the murder of a young girl in her own home. He is directed to her body by an apparition who matches her description, which knocks him for a loop since he doesn't believe in the supernatural. Not wanting to reveal what he saw to his fellow police officers, he reluctantly goes to see Kiernan Fitzpatrick, a medium who happens to be on tour in Matt's town. Together, the two men visit the little girl's mother to get more information and all heck breaks loose when the media finds out. Matt also has to deal with the homophobia of his supervisor and several coworkers and his lingering sadness over the shooting death of his boyfriend, who was also a detective, over a year ago.
I was surprised by how much I liked this book and can't recommend it enough. Not only was the writing very good but so was the character development and sense of place. Matt and Kiernan were quite different and intriguing main characters who find themselves drawn to each other while trying to find the girl's killer without getting killed themselves. I will definitely try to read more my this author. 217 pages (Kindle edition).
