Publisher Description
The first time I died, I didn't come back alone.
When Garnet McGee returns to her small Vermont hometown for the holidays, she vows to solve the mystery of the murder which shattered her life ten years ago.
Then she dies.
After she's resuscitated, she starts hearing voices, seeing visions and experiencing strange sensations. Are these merely symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and an over-active imagination, or is she getting messages from a paranormal presence?
Garnet has always prided herself on being logical and rational, but trying to catch a killer without embracing her shadow self is getting increasingly difficult. And dangerous, because in a town full of secrets, it seems like everybody has a motive for murder.
Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich) meets Medium in this fast-paced and haunting crime story with a psychic twist. Great reading for fans of Paula Hawkins, Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware and Liane Moriarty.
BONUS CONTENT!
This ebook contains a sneak preview of chapters 1 and 2 of the second book in the Garent McGee series, The First Time I Fell.
Reviewers are saying:
"Leaves you breathless. I LOVED this a LOT. Incredibly clever … It genuinely kept me guessing and, between that and the incredible characters, it kept me turning pages like the book was crack. I literally spent all day reading it. All. Day. Practically in one sitting. All in all, this book was an emotional roller-coaster. I definitely, HIGHLY recommend this book to any mystery lover — but ESPECIALLY if you're a reader like me, who gets pretty burnt out on the repetitiveness of the mystery genre. I can guarantee that this book will restore your faith in the genre." - Dream With Your Eyes Open Book Reviews
"A fabulous mix of love story and paranormal mystery, skillfully stitched together with beautiful writing. A gripping, sometimes funny and heart-wrenching read!" - Edyth Bulbring (Author: The Mark, The Club)
Customer Reviews
Enjoyed
Overall I enjoyed this story. The emotion that the relationship between Colby and Garnet evoked in me was very strong. My heart ached for her and the grief she was going through and what she was feeling. I enjoyed the alternating chapters between present time and flashbacks. I also liked that for the “murder mystery” portion of the story, there were definitely a lot of suspects, which didn’t make the story too predictable. The author also did a good job of keeping you distracted with certain aspects and details which seem important at the time but end up not being relevant. I will say that parts of the story and some of the characters were a little cheesy and not terribly realistic. Like what are the chances that you walk into a thrift shop for a phone charger and happen to speak to the owner who talks and gossips too much and shares all this useful information with you? Not super believable, but not the end of the world.
