Publisher's Summary

Sidelined by an on the job injury, veteran paranormal investigator Maureen Keslyn reluctantly accepts an assignment at Shadow Valley Manor, an upscale retirement facility where someone - or something - is picking off residents and staff at a grisly clip.

With her resources dwindling one death at a time and unnatural forces on the loose, Maureen’s experience fighting the supernatural is offers the only hope of defeating a clever and powerful evil before everybody in the manor - and the town - winds up dead.

ok

I listened to this one just for fun, and as a break from the slightly more grim and serious stuff I've been into lately. It was a change of pace. Kind of corny, but cute and light and the setting is really fun. I like the idea of a paranormal mystery set in a home for the elderly. It worked surprisingly well! The characters were pretty ok for a first in a series, and the mystery was interesting.
My gripe, because I did listen to the audiobook, was the narrator. She sounded way too young to be voicing a woman in her 60s. Like, maybe in her early 40s, max? It threw everything off. She's talking about things specific to life as an older person, but she sounds so young, it is incongruous.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
