Book Nook: Of Grave Concern

Over the last few weeks I have had the pleasure of reading and finishing a few different books. Allow me to introduce you a a rather paranormal western.

Today's novel will be:

Book: Of Grave Concern

Series: Ophelia Wylde Paranormal Mystery #1

Author: Max McCoy

Ophelia Wylde is a woman of twenty and eight years and already a widow. As with many other women who've lost their husbands in the great Civil War, she's distrought about the loss of her husband Jonathan. Every single woman who lost a loved one has turned to Spiritualism to try and have one last word with their beloved.

Having been tricked once already, Ophelia is now a Spiritualist in search of one final Seance that will allow her to speak with Jonathan. However, on her way to that final session she's waylaid in Dodge City, due to an uncanny resemblence to a murderess from the prarie.

With her friend and companion Eddie (quoth the raven, literally), Ophelia becomes entrangled in an old murder when she sees the ghost of a girl that was murdered.

While trapped in Dodge she keeps up her work as a Spiritualist, all the while trying to figure out a way to clear her name. (Email and phones hadn't been invented yet, so trying to find a source is impossible.)

While Spiritualism is a scam, and Ophelia knows it, only one other person in town seems to know it. Jack Calder is a bounty hunter, here to keep an eye on her so she doesn't run. However when a reading goes wrong and she's buried six feet under - literally - the dead start speaking. They have dozens of things to say.

There is a twist at the end, which I won't spoil for you. Pick up a copy of "Of Grave Concern" today!
