Reviews

“Grave Reservations is an ebullient tap dance of a mystery with a splash of Seattle color and, well, psychic karaoke. Great fun!” —Christopher Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Lamb and A Dirty Job

“[A] frothy blend of paranormal cozy and off-the-books police procedural… Readers will hope this is the start of a series.” —Publishers Weekly

“The half-psychics, female friendships, and mystery of a dead fiancé make it fun, but it's the story of every woman's second act that makes Grave Reservations shine. It's exactly the witty escape read you need right now.” —Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors

“A caffeinated treat for fans of Northwest mysteries and oddball sleuths. A fun, propulsive read.” —Nova Jacobs, author of The Last Equation of Isaac Severy

“Light and irreverent, but with more serious themes including grief and responsibility, this is an excellent series starter for Priest’s fans as well as new readers. Suggest to those who enjoyed Mia Manansala’s Arsenic and Adobo.” —Booklist
