DARK AND DISORDERLY tells the story of Lillie St. Claire, a
young woman who can get rid of the spirits of the dead that
haunt our world. She may be in demand, but there are still
those who see Lillie as a freak or her gift as demonic. Yet
when she becomes the number one suspect in her husband's
murder, she may find a friend in detective John Thresher.
I enjoyed seeing a heroine like Lillie. She has had a hard
life, but she still endures. She may not be a hard kick-butt
woman, but she is no wimp either. She cares for other people
and has her own insecurities. The attraction between Lillie
and detective Thresher is interesting. While the two try to
decide just how they feel about each other, they must figure
out who is after Lillie and why. Even with
their attraction you never really know what John thinks of
Lillie, which keeps you turning the pages to discover
his motives, and if he loves her.
I liked that the characters seem like people you might meet
in your everyday life. It is nice to read about people like
you and me once in awhile.
With its many twists, this book keeps you guessing until the
end. DARK AND DISORDERLY is a fun and fast paced story that
keeps you entertained all the way through. This was a nice
start to a new series and I cannot wait to see what new
adventure Lillie will have next.
Lillie St. Claire is a Talent, one of the rare few who can
permanently dispatch the spirits of the dead that walk the
earth. Her skills are in demand in a haunted country,
where a plague of ghosts is becoming a civic nuisance.
Those skills bring her into conflict with frightened
citizens who view Talents as near-demons. Her husband has
come to see her as a Freak; so when Nathan dies after a
car crash, she is relieved to be free of his increasingly
vicious presence. Lillie expects to be haunted by Nathan's
ghost, but not to become Suspect #1 for her husband's
murder and reanimation.
But what's most surprising of all is the growing
attraction between her and psi-crime detective John
Thresher. He thinks that Lillie killed Nathan-and Nathan
must agree, because his zombie is seeking revenge. Now she
and Thresher must work together to solve her husband's
murder-before his corpse kills her...
