The first book in a new paranormal mystery series featuring Sadie Novak, a professional crime scene cleaner and amateur medium.
Sadie Novak's got the kind of job that kills cocktail chatter dead: she owns Scene-2-Clean a crime scene cleanup company. And if wiping up after murders weren't spooky enough, she can also see and talk to the ghosts of the victims...
When grieving relatives hire Sadie and her employee, ex-cop Zack Bowman, to clean up after the murder-suicide of Trudy and Grant Toth, Sadie figures she's bound to meet at least one chatty ghost. But Kent, the man Sadie first encounters at the scene, is very much alive--so much so, that Sadie soon finds herself agreeing to a date with him.
Then a real ghost shows up--the oddly silent spirit of Trudy, who seems determined to prove her husband's innocence, and inspires Sadie to track down the real killer. But as she scours the crime scene, Sadie quickly realizes she's in way over her head, that Kent has a strange connection to the dead couple, and that someone wants her to give up the ghost...for good.

☆☆☆ ½ of 5
Three and half stars
the good:
- the surprising ending deserve a star for itself!
- i keep interested in reading it (i dont finish it in a day, mainly because no time. but i don't lose interest though it took days before i get the chance to read again)
- the gruesome murder and the ghosts give me chill
the bad:
- i already know the killer within the half of the book because the writer gives subtle clues here and there, yet the main character remain clueless until the very clear fact shove in front of her. Sadie too focus on one thing, she forget to look around, even the obvious one.
Also her persistent almost irritate me, fortunately she stop.
