Dead Man Talking by Jana DeLeon

mysterious medium-paced
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

I enjoyed this cozy paranormal mystery with romance on the side. The characters were lovable (except the "bad guys" of course). It's a good foundation for the "Happily Everlasting" setting, providing plenty of lore.
It's hard to choose my favorite aspect of the book. I love the view from the lighthouse! I won't tell the others to avoid spoilers.
My least favorite part of the book is a few parts that were sloppy and I wish the author or an editor had cleaned them up. It didn't change the value of the story, but kinda took me out of the narrative.
