Angel Interrupted

Mystery Amateur Sleuth | Paranormal

When he was alive, Detective Kevin Fahey was a less than stellar man. Not a bad guy, but not the best he could be. In death, Kevin has had a lot of time to reflect on his former life. He finds that, in order to move on, he must find a way to make a difference that might make up for some of his previously lousy ways. Yes, Kevin Fahey is a dead detective.

In Chaz McGee's new book, ANGEL INTERRUPTED, the second in her Dead Detective Mystery series, she continues the story of Kevin Fahey, a detective from "the other side" who is determined to continue in his former line of duty. When a young nurse is mysteriously found dead in her home, Kevin is on the scene as Maggie Gunn, his replacement in the detective division, arrives to take charge of the case. The young woman appears to have committed suicide but Maggie soon finds evidence that she has been murdered. She is deep in the investigation when chaos erupts outside with the news that a young boy has been kidnapped from the park directly across the street from the murder scene. Suddenly, Maggie has her hands full with two urgent cases, and Kevin realizes that he can at last find a way to help his Maggie.

Being able to see things others cannot is a big advantage for Kevin. He discovers where the little boy has been taken, but his inability to communicate with the living is incredibly frustrating. When he realizes that he can be seen and heard by an unlikely helper, Kevin finds a way to send a message to Maggie. Now if she can just decipher the cryptic drawing that will lead her to solving the kidnapping, another link will open up that will help with the nurse's murder. Ever faithful, Kevin realizes there is more than a "ghost of a chance" for everything to come together in time to solve these two crimes.

At first glance at the cover of ANGEL INTERRUPTED, one would gather that this is a typical cozy mystery, but once inside, readers will find a absorbing paranormal/police procedural/ mystery that grabs your attention and doesn't let go to the very end. Chaz McGee is a creative and intelligent writer who combines a lively, fascinating cast of characters with a complicated but captivating plot to give her audience a brilliant story.

SUMMARY

Some cases are as cold as the grave...

A lost soul in limbo, Kevin Fahey is trying to prove he's a better ghost than he ever was a man. And trying to help Maggie Gunn, the detective who replaced him, is a good way to start.
