Having read the ebook first, I knew what was going to happen but Joel always makes the story come alive.
Slight spoilers ahead
So poor Tristan is living the life he has, with no real close friends and a dad with dementia. One day after work, Tristan chokes on an ice cube but is sent back. When he wakes up, he has the ability to see dead people. Considering his job is doing autopsies, it’s probably not the greatest gift to have been given. One day a body of a drag queen comes in who was murdered and of course her ghost came with it. This kicks off the murder mystery part of the story.
The other mc is Danny. A hunky northern fella who left his home town because no one accepted his being gay. He initially meets Tristan after the ice choking incident and then we find out he is the lead inspector for Dusty’s murder.
The third mc is Dusty. She is the one who was murdered. While not a part of the romance, she does become Tristan’s best friend.
Not gonna lie, the murder takes up most of the story with the romance happening in between. But the romance is cute enough that I’m ok with it.
The resolution of the murder was rather abrupt, as was the hea.
I’ve read the next book so I know it continues so that’s a good thing.
As always, Joel was awesome. I think I could listen to him read the phone book as long as he over emotes on each name.
