Commentary To Books Desolate Angel (Dead Detective #1)

He was once a second-rate cop, a mediocre husband, and an absent father. But ever since he was killed in a drug bust gone bad, Kevin fahey's been a lost soul in limbo, searching for a way out of his solitude and hoping for redemption. Now he'll have to prove to be a better ghost than he ever was as a man....

After I died, I wandered my town, unseen, alone, and wondering why I'd been sentenced to linger in this world. Then Alissa, the victim in a long-ago murder case I'd worked, came to me. She led me to a body sprawled in the weeds, and the terrible truth dawned on me: I'd let Alissa's real killer escape. I'd imprisoned an innocent man - and now another young girl was dead.

I know my redemption lies in righting this wrong. And the only way I can do that is to somehow forge a connection with my replacement on the force, Maggie Gunn. Now I'm haunted by the fear that dragging Maggie into this may turn out to be the biggest mistake of my afterlife....

Crit Based On Books Desolate Angel (Dead Detective #1)

This was a mystery with an interesting twist...the main character, a former police officer, is dead, and is wandering his home town as a ghost when the victim of a murder he "solved" appears to him and leads him to another dead body. It is obvious to the detective that the man they put behind bars for the crime is actually innocent, and the true killer is still roaming free, so he sets out to try and correct his mistake. It seemed to me that the only purpose in having the main character be a

Interesting story. The usual crime story with a twist, it is told by a dead detective who is trying to put right a crime he bungled when he was alive. Another murder happens after he and his partner convict a guy. The case is reopened and the story unfolds...

If you are looking for a traditional cozy mystery, this isn't it. But it is a great read. The premise caught my attention at first- I love the combination of mystery and paranormal-but the reviews seemed split. I decided to make my own decision. I'm so glad I did. The main character is a loser detective who wakes up to discover he's dead.

I picked up this book at the Dollar Store to add to my bedside table for light summer reading. The cover blurp led me to think that this is a typical cozy mystery. Wrong.This is an absorbing paranormal/police procedural/ mystery that grabs your attention and doesnt let go to the very end. It is a deeply layered story with intricate plotting that never feels overdone. There are several neat twists that readers wont expect, and characters turn out differently than originally expected.This is no

An absolutely wonderful story of a troubled cop who becomes an usually guardian angel. Love it cannot wait to begin book 2.
