There were some editing and continuity errors (such as on a page closer to the beginning of the book, Sadie is being driven home by someone and having a conversation with them - on the same page, it describes the driver pulling up to her house and into her driveway, then a few lines of dialogue later, it says the driver pulls into her neighborhood and into the driveway). Kind of ruined my expectations for the rest of the book. I actually ignored a clue as to who the killer might be, because I thought it was just an oversight on the author's part that didn't get caught in editing. Parts of it read like the author took long breaks between writing, and forgot that some stuff was already introduced or mentioned. I've been looking forward to having this series continue, especially since there was an open ended conspiracy hint at the end of the last book before this - but it wasn't mentioned in this book. I'm a bit disappointed. I hope the next one in the series picks the quality back up a bit more. I'd say my rating is more like a 2.5.

While the mystery was pretty good and more than a little frightening in this installment, I'll admit I was disappointed in the personal relationship between Sadie and Zach. I'm not sure why Zach all of a sudden has decided to become a complete jerk, but I'm even more baffled why Sadie would decide that being a doormat would be a good response.

Since I like the rest of the series I'll read the next book and hope the characters are back on track.

This just wasn't for me. The hero was awful. The heroine was really whiny, denied what she could do, and begged her boyfriend to come back. Just not for me.

Sadie's trauma cleaning service is in a slump, her relationship with Zack is rocky and she has suddenly bitten off way more than she can handle with her "ghost busting". Sadie is called to clean a hotel room where a prostitute has been murdered and finds herself the killer's target. A mysterious suicide clean up leaves her with no money, but an old gold necklace for payment. We soon find that the two are combined. I enjoy this series and was very happy to see that the author has continued with it after it pretty much died 4 years ago. Sadie always seems sensitive to the families of suicide victims as she had to clean following her brother's suicide. This is what sparked her need to leave teaching and start the trauma cleaning service. I must say that even though I am exposed to blood all day in the OR, it is a whole different ballgame when it is a crime scene. I have the upmost respect for someone who can go into those situations and make it better. Sadie did not dwell as much on clean up in this book as she did earlier ones which was okay. Very interesting storyline with the "haunted house" that she tries to help her friend, Maeve clear. A good solid read.
