Summary
Lars Gunner, the frontman for Silent Plaids, died 23 years ago, and his death was ruled an unfortunate accident. Despite the fact that he can't recall what happened to him in his last moments of life, he is convinced that he was murdered. He has been trapped in limbo until his daughter Cecilia unearths his journal and is able to see him. She seeks help from Kaleb, a psychic, but as they resurrect the past, the secrets and lies surrounding Lars' rock-and-roll life just may be the death of them, too.

Phenomonal!
What happens when you die and don't crossover? Lars Gunnar has been in limbo for years, knowing he's dead but unable to remember what caused his death. When his daughter finds his notebook, she begins to see him, and together they try to find the answers. When I first started listening to this, I figured it would be your typical ghost story, but this is so much more. The characters are amazing. Cecilia is hesitant, yet she can't negate what she sees. Lars is larger than life even when dead. Add in the psychic's son Kaleb, who not only can see the dead, but is attracted to Cecilia, and we have romance, suspense and unusual suspects! It's got twists and turns, and the mix of people we meet has so much to offer. It's my first book by Karen Michelle Nutt and I will be checking out more! It sucked me in and held me to the very end!
Kelly Jackson gives an outstanding performance. It's my first listen by her and she gives this story her all. There is a large cast of characters, and she gives each one their own voice and personality. I love that she could do young and old, drunk and sober, evil and ghostly. A little of everything made this performer shine.

Murder mystery and sexytimes
About half this book is solving a murder mystery, which is what I liked about it. Cecilia grew up with plenty of questions about her deceased father, Lars, but her mom struggled deeply with her own grief and couldn’t give Cecilia all that she needed growing up. Now with Cecilia as an adult, she finds herself often taking care of her mom who has embraced alcoholism fully.
Pretty soon Cecilia teams up with Kaleb, a psychic and private detective. They are the only two who can see the very talkative ghost of Lars. All three are convinced that there’s more to Lars’s death but as they dig deeper into the facts of the case, dangerous things start happening to Cecilia and Kaleb.
While I enjoyed the plot, the mystery, I did find the characters a little shallow. I would have enjoyed more character development especially with such a small cast. Lars still acts like a 20s rock singer; Cecilia doesn’t have much going on in her own life even though we are often told how idependent she is; Kaleb likes ghosts, respects his mom, and thinks Cecilia’s bum is a gorgeous thing; Cecilia’s mom is a bit of a boozy lost soul. And that’s it.
If you enjoy romances, this tale is a sweet romance at heart. Cecilia and Kaleb first fall into lust and then friendship and love. Their instant deep connection was a little sudden for me, but I think others would like it. While there is some flirting and attraction on scene, the sex happens behind closed curtains. It’s cute but a little bit of a snooze for me as romance isn’t my cup of tea.
Overall, it’s a fun mystery and a light read. I liked the paranormal parts of it as well as digging into the past. 4/5 stars.
The Narration: I really enjoyed Kelly Jackson’s narration. She had the perfect voice for Cecilia, capturing her range of emotions in this tale. I also liked Jackson’s performance for Lars’s voice, especially when he’s exasperated or offended. Jackson had individual voices for all the characters and her male character voices were believable. The pacing was good and there were no technical issues with the recording. 5/5 stars.
I received this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own.
