Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Desolate Angel (Dead Detective #1)
He was once a second-rate cop, a mediocre husband, and an absent father. But ever since he was killed in a drug bust gone bad, Kevin fahey's been a lost soul in limbo, searching for a way out of his solitude and hoping for redemption. Now he'll have to prove to be a better ghost than he ever was as a man....After I died, I wandered my town, unseen, alone, and wondering why I'd been sentenced to linger in this world. Then Alissa, the victim in a long-ago murder case I'd worked, came to me. She led me to a body sprawled in the weeds, and the terrible truth dawned on me: I'd let Alissa's real killer escape. I'd imprisoned an innocent man - and now another young girl was dead.
I know my redemption lies in righting this wrong. And the only way I can do that is to somehow forge a connection with my replacement on the force, Maggie Gunn. Now I'm haunted by the fear that dragging Maggie into this may turn out to be the biggest mistake of my afterlife....

DNF; not for me. Really weird. Just not for me.Well written, interesting concept and I will read more in this series.
This is a really enjoyable book. The character of Kevin Fahey is likeable and comes across well in the writing. If I have one criticism, it's that he's a largely passive observer. But then he is a ghost with little ability to interact with the physical world. On the whole, I do thoroughly recommend this book. We see the world through Fahey's eyes and his observations, enhanced my his ghostly abilities, are highly enjoyable. The other characters, including his ex-partner, are excellently
An excellently written and emotionally moving bookI am not particularly fond of books about police and detectives and murder. This book, however, kept my interest riveted from first to last. In spite of the handicap of being dead and thus invisible and inaudible to the living, the protagonist struggles to redeem his life from the incompetence and alcoholism that blemished his last living days. I intend to read the other books in the series, and I highly recommend this one.
An alcoholic detective is shot in the line of duty and becomes a ghost. He is approached by the ghost of a girl from one of his former cases and he realizes that he must help the new detective catch a killer to make amends for the sloppy work he did in his previous life.An entertaining read and seems to be the start of a new series.
Full of (yes, full of, from the first chapter to the last) passages like "As I stood next to Sarah Hayes, willing myself to be an instrument of good, I believe that the first faint stirrings of my own salvation came into being. I felt connected to the child by a channel of pure white light, by a chord of love so strong I cannot explain it except to say that it did not come from me, it only came through me and in serving as its vessel I had bound us together forever." The protagonist is so busy
