Synopsis (Goodreads):
Apparently, she can see dead people. Can she solve a cold case to finally get the ghosts off her back?Thoughts on The Medium of Branden Bay: In the way of cozies (which I thoroughly enjoy, thankyouverymuch), Becky has inherited her grandmother's big Victorian house in picturesque Branden Bay. She had initially intended to sell it since she's a big city girl, but circumstances (by which I mean a breakup) has her pulling the house off the market and moving in. One life (and career) change coming up!
Becky James can’t believe the mess she inherited. Following a bad breakup, the former receptionist moves into her dearly departed grandmother’s house for a much-needed fresh start. But her new home quickly loses its charm when shadowy figures begin haunting the hall.
Stunned to realize she’s able to communicate with the deceased, Becky does her best to ignore the obnoxious souls interrupting her restful reset. But between an unsolved mystery, a lovable specter-seeing stray cat, and a tireless string of spooks, Becky hopes solving a young girl’s disappearance will pave the path to silence.
With spirits on all sides, will England’s newest supernatural investigator seize her powerful responsibility?
It isn't long before Becky's heretofore unknown medium-ship skills start acting up. She's seeing ghosts. In her house. Which is a little creepy. As it turns out, seeing ghosts runs in the family and Becky's just following in her grandmother's footsteps. To be honest, these aren't exactly footsteps she wants to follow, but those ghosts keep showing up and the only way she's going to get any peace is to figure out what they need.
So she starts investigating a missing persons case from years before. And she finds out her new friends knew the missing girl, her behind the garden neighbor had ties to the missing girl's family, and the girl and her father *probably* aren't just missing since she's seeing their ghosts. So, yeah, Becky has a lot on her plate even before you throw in the unexpected attraction she's feeling toward hunky H. Who might or might not be a suspect.
Enjoyable overall. Becky makes a few questionable choices that puts her safety at risk, but I guess when you're plagued by ghosts (she's not really being plagued, just spooked by them) a medium's gotta do what a medium's gotta do.
