Jones's fast-paced ninth Charley Davidson novel (after 2015's Eighth Grave after Dark) alternates between the comical and the mystical. Charley, who's suffering from amnesia and is known as Janey, has been working as a waitress at the Firelight Grill in the Hudson River town of Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. Unaware of her paranormal powers, Charley is perplexed by her ability to see dead people and understand multiple languages. Charley attempts to see the humor in her everyday life even as she feels the otherworldly forces around her. Meanwhile, she's attracted to customer Reyes Farrow and seeks to solve the mystery of the disappearance of the family of Mr. Vandenberg, a nearby shop owner. Fortunately, Charley's unexplained supernatural abilities prove beneficial to her amateur sleuthing efforts. Charley's adventures build to an apocalyptic conclusion that uncovers the true meaning of her life. Agent: Alexandra Machinist, ICM Partners.

In the ninth book of this series, narrator Lorelei King once again revels in grim reaper Charley Davidson's snarky attitude. Though the book begins with Charley suffering from amnesia and living as Janey Doer, a waitress in a small-town diner, it's none too long until she's back to solving mysteries. With the help of a few familiar figures, including sexy Reyes and caring Cookie, she's soon attempting to discover her own forgotten self and rescue those she can sense are in trouble. A variety of different character voices makes King's narration lively and entertaining. While new listeners will benefit by starting with the first book, Charley's amnesia does give them the opportunity to explore the series from here. J.M. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
