About this listen

Rain Christiansen is settling into married life with fellow cold case detective, Daniel McKenna, and life is good. Better than good, even. But when it comes to the topic of expanding their family, Rain isn't so sure he's ready. Yes, a new addition could enrich their lives. But it could also tear down the delicate balance they've worked so hard to achieve. Do they really want to take that risk?

He'd love to brood over that a little more, but murder never takes a day off. A decade-old mystery of the missing Parker family is heating up. Most seem to think the Parkers pulled a disappearing act to get out of financial debt. It isn't before the PTU finds out the reality is far grimmer than that. It seems that Quinn stumbled upon something better left hidden. Now that Rain has stumbled upon it, too, he has to be careful that he doesn't meet the same fate.

Sometimes it amazes him how far he's come from strait-laced FBI agent who couldn't admit—even to himself—that he saw ghosts. He's done the work, learning to get some measure of control of his paranormal side. And while his relationship with ghosts may not be perfect, it's evolved into something symbiotic . . . which is a very good thing. Because in order to protect himself from the living, he might need a little help from the dead.

Total Enjoyment!

God's. I love this series! The only thing wrong with this is that now I have to wait for the next installment. Listen to the entire Spooky series from the beginning. I think I will, just to help me wait for the next one. Great stories. great characters, and perfect performance by the reader.

Mooore!!!

So good. Serial killers, ghosts, jerky ex-boyfriend, sugar and spice and sarcastic humor, interesting side characters. Highly addictive.

This series is only getting better!

I don't know what it is about this series, but I really enjoy it and just love every single time I get the opportunity to jump back into this world. It really is funny that in between books, I can somehow forget how funny it is, while still always having an actual interesting plot and storyline and of course, excellent character development for the characters that we have come to know and love over 5 books.

This book starts off on the night of Halloween with Detective Rain Christiansen being led by a new ghost - Franklin - to a remote site in the Everglades where he finds 2 large bags filled with the body parts of 2 murdered men. Unfortunately, the heads are missing, and Franklin has decided that he has given Rain enough information. Now Rain realizes that he has a new case and identifying the victims is not going to be easy. And we are off from there......

As usual, Rain and husband Detective Daniel McKenna gather the team together to start the new investigation. And, surprise, surprise, there are many more developments and all of a sudden this case becomes MUCH bigger than anyone was expecting.

What makes this series so wonderful is the way the characters have grown over the series. Rain's dry wit - and nonstop sarcasm (heck, let me just call it what it is.....snark) are a perfect fit for Daniel's calm and controlled manner. It also makes them a fantastic detective team. Over the last few books, we have seen a maturity in both of them, and a strengthening in the relationship. We can even see the growth in the dynamics of their team at the BBPD. It is not easy to be the guy who can see and talk to ghosts, yet the team they have now is rock solid. Danny is the perfect fit for Rain and this has never been so apparent as it is now. The way he can just calm Rain down with that look when Rain is spiraling and can't stop the verbal diarrhea is comic gold. It took a while to get there, but they are truly at such a strong place right now and it is SO wonderful to see.

This case was extremely interesting. I just KNEW that a certain someone was going to find themselves in a life-or-death situation and yep, this one was a doozy. We also got to learn some snippets from Danny's past which broke my heart, but the book ends with some fun and exciting news for the future.

I honestly LOVE this series and I hope that there are still going to be many, many books in the future. I listened to this mainly on audio (Shout out to Kirk Graves for another excellent job at narration!) but as I was listening, I cannot tell you how many times I realized that I had a huge smile on my face (Rain is funny, what can I say?) My husband walked by me and did a double take and asked, "Are you listening to something? What's so funny?" so I had to try to pay more attention and try to mitigate my smiles. Now is that not a great problem to have or what?

Thank you Ms. Harmon for giving us Rainstorm Moonbeam Christiansen-McKenna, and of course, for Daniel Christenson-McKenna too. The world is definitely a better place because of them :)

SO HAPPY TO BE BACK

My absolute ANGELS. I already miss them AGAIN - and I just want to reread this. Being with any of SE Harmon’s characters is a joy, but something about Rain is so easy to get for me. I just love Rain and Danny, I hope we get more random extras in the future!

Rain + Daniel= Life goal

Another great visit to Rain and Daniel's life!

Married life suits them, it actually seems to have made Rain a bit calmer. While his brain still works in mysterious ways he is less irrational and doesn't get into as much trouble as he used to.

Their relationship is still life goal-worthy. They are still completely devoted to one another and their love, their mutual trust and their respect is always expressed with conviction, regardless where they are. They have each other's backs and accept the other one's quirks, often even embraces them. 🤪

Especially Daniel always knows what to say when Rain needs reassurance and it always comes from his heart.

"My point is that you may doubt many things, Rainstorm, but us better not ever make the list. You got me?"

Rain's inner monologues are as hilarious as always. Being delivered with Kirt Graves' voice is comedy goal.

"I had bought more food than necessary because we had a Kevin in our department and he ate like someone was paying him by the calory."

This time we get to learn a bit more about Daniel's mom, even though some information is being revealed under hostile circumstances. The side characters are the usual suspects, Rain and Daniel's team and family members. We actually get to see our two guys and all their sidekicks and relatives together as they celebrate Thanks Giving.

The cold case they are working is interesting. While who's dunnit is quite obvious, I didn't get the how and the why as easily.

I am not sure if there is going to be another book. With how this book ends it can go either way. I have got this series on my re-read list though so I it was definitely not the last time I spent time in Rain's head.

"Sometimes it's fun to play with fire. At least until you lose your eyebrows." A life lesson taught by Rain.

👻👻👻👻👻 Five ghosts out of five.

Just keeps getting better!

The story revolves around the mystery behind the disappearance of a whole family. The story has many twists and turns, which Christiansen and McKenna expertly delve into. The married couple keeps the flames alive throughout the book. I love that their private life and police life are given equal importance. I am quite impressed that this series just keeps getting better and better! The end is amazing!

Macabre mystery mixed with tons of family and love

I’m not crying, you’re crying! Gah… that ending tugged my heartstrings and was so perfect!

Getting there though… lots of action, anxiety, and danger, mixed with the quirky humour and snark found in all the books of this series. Well worth the read.
