Cleo does it again. Danger and Ghosts come hand in hand for Cleo and her guide Tyler. Decently written mystery that was pretty good way to spend an afternoon in the sun.

Review by: Renee Gunnells on July 25, 2011 :
A fun quick read with enough excitement to keep you invested and enough questionable characters to keep you wondering who the bad guy is all the way to the end. I received this book as an ebook through Member Giveaway and enjoyed it so much that I will look for the other Cleo book.

If you like your mysteries with a touch of the paranormal, this one's for you. An indigo child, a Scientologist, an hysterical student, and a computer gamer all clash, as grief counselor Cleo and her surfer dude spirit, Tyler, try to find the murderer of a wealthy Boulderite while, at the same time, trying to find a nursing home for Cleo's grandmother.

A bit lagging at times but, overall, this book was a lot of fun.

I thought it was a well thought at book that I enjoyed. It was a different heroine and clinet. I like Cleo she is a grief councler teachs a class, and helps people connect with dead people in a different way. Everyone is giving advice to Cleo to leave Lacy and her family alone for her benifet, but she does what she feels right not necessarly the best for herself.
Lacy is a college student who wants Cleo to help her and her sister find out who killed thier mom. Anglea wants to be the one but she is only 10 and Cleo cant treat a minor.
All the characters interact with each other and connect to in lots of ways. its like a small town soap opera. I enjoyed the book and am going to go read the first of the series now. I was given the ebook in exchange for honest review.

Another good Cleo and Tyler book. While this not generally the type of book I read I enjoyed the two Cleo books greatly.
A bit too much hand wringing for my taste but the story is entertaining and moves at a brisk pace.
