A pretty good novel, I guess it's like a cold-cast procedural with some (unfortunate) supernatural elements--there are ghosts in some sort of afterlife, or like a pre-afterlife where you wait until you're ready for the afterlife, and that really detracts more from the detective/procedural threads; I think there could have been other ways to get at least most of that information into the novel, and I think Ms. Herchenroether would have been well-served to look into them. That niggle aside, the characters are solid and at least mostly believable, and the story works pretty well, too, with an ending that is more about hope than anything else (while not being purely a strictly happy ending).
