About this listen

“Quick, clean action, solid character work and pacing. This series is worth your time.” (Jim Butcher, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Dresden Files)

Another day, another hijacked body. And just 13 hours to solve a murder…Detective Vincent Graves has made a habit of dying. Waking up in someone else’s body isn’t pleasant, especially when it's inside a coffin with tons of dirt pressing down on it. Once he’s out, he learns his soul has 13 hours to find the borrowed body’s killer.

With the help of a brilliant FBI agent, Vincent’s quest for clues leads to a looming supernatural presence. And escaping the dark threat may be impossible with his ever-ticking clock…

Can Vincent close the case in time, or will a powerful being make him rest in peace for good?

Grave Beginnings is the first book in The Grave Report urban fantasy detective series. If you like paranormal twists, hard-boiled investigators, and noir-style magic, then you’ll love R.R. Virdi’s paranormal investigator series.

“His stuff is badass!” (Larry Correia, New York Times best-selling author)

Gotta say the narrator is amazing, and very funny. Found myself laughing out loud on the train to work. Story is great, lots going on and the pace never slows down so you don't get the boring interludes. I will definitely be buying the next one 😊

Naration awsome, worldbuildning is bare bones. Main caracter is funny but needs cooler powers atleast.

Basic

A mostly enjoyable listen, the narration was very good and I will probably seek out the next book in the series. The female FBI character was generic and forgettable but she may develop to be more likeable as the series progresses.
However my main gripe came towards the end as the naff wise cracks were really starting to grate on me and the 'end of level boss' section was so drawn out with the 'comedic' quips between the main characters & the baddie I almost skipped to the end! Hoping that aspect is toned down a little in the next book or I will have to pass, which would be a shame as I would like to know what happens to Vincent Graves .

A fun story, the Graves universe is built slowly, but the story rattles along at a fair pace.

Good story, good narration.
