About this listen
Book 1: The Dead Detective
Detective Richelle Dadd has seen plenty of crime scenes, but she never expected to wake up in one. Now, as an undead investigator, she’s dealing with more than just a bitter divorce—she’s also on a mission to solve her own murder. But being reanimated comes with a catch: she’s been turned into a zombie assassin, forced to carry out dangerous assignments while uncovering the secrets of the occult underworld. Between Gypsy shamans, double-crossing ghosts, and a partner she doesn’t trust, Richelle has her work cut out for her—dead or not.
Book 2: Deadbeat Dad
Still cursed and still undead, Richelle is now juggling life as a single mom—while trying to keep her daughter safe from a homicidal ex-boyfriend who won’t stay buried. But when a Jack the Ripper-style killer resurfaces, Richelle is pulled into a case that ties back to a decades-old murder spree. With a mysterious Russian agent offering her a suspiciously perfect job and supernatural threats closing in, Richelle and her partner Malena must stop the next killing before it’s too late.
Murder, mystery, and the afterlife collide in this action-packed paranormal detective series, where death is just the beginning.

Some people's midlife crisis involves chopping off their hair or buying a convertible. Not me. I get to see demons, and even more traumatizing, I'm supposed to get rid of them. A secret society of reapers and witches who've been keeping our planet demon free for generations has taken me under their wing. It's nice to feel like I'm a part of something important, but will they have the time—and patience—to teach me how to wield my power before the biggest and baddest demon escapes his prison?

Kit McCafferty's life is quiet, unremarkable, and filled with cat hair. In the magical city of Coldstream, located on the border between Scotland and England, Kit is viewed as little more than mildly eccentric and mostly harmless. She passes her days caring for her family of five cats, feeding the local feral moggies, and maintaining relatively good relations with her neighbors.
