Starred Review! Woohoo! BOOKLIST Advanced Review – Uncorrected Proof Issue: February 1, 2011 First Grave on the Right. Jones, Darynda (Author) Feb 2011. 320 p. St. Martin's, hardcover, $21.99. (9780312662752). Charley Davidson’s police-officer father and uncle began consulting her for help in solving murders when she was five years old. Charley has a special gift—she sees and talks to the victims. Her job is to point the recently departed to the light, but those who have been murdered want her to make sure their killers are caught. Charley’s latest clients-from-beyond are three personable lawyers, all murdered by the same person at nearly the same time. When she’s not helping ghosts with the ultimate closure, Charley is trying to figure out who her sizzling-hot dream lover is. The manuscript for this sassy, sarcastic, sexy novel won the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart for Best Paranormal Romance. Now Jones’ wickedly witty debut will delight aficionados of such humorous paranormals as Casey Daniels’ Pepper Martin Mysteries (Don of the Dead, 2006; The Chick and the Dead, 2007; Tombs of Endearment, 2007) and Dakota Cassidy’s Accidental Friends series (The Accidental Werewolf, 2008; Accidentally Dead, 2008; The Accidental Human, 2009). Librarians will want to be on the lookout for the next book in Jones’ series, Second Grave on the Left (2011). — Shelley Mosley
