Review: A Medium Fate (The Haunted Life Cozy Mystery Series #1) by Lynn Cahoon

About the Book

I see ghosts, but I do my best to ignore them.

When Eddie Cayce turned home to New Orleans from her carefully built Seattle life, it’s not just for her grandmother’s funeral. She’s home to stay. More to the point, now that she’s broken it off with the almost fiancé and quit her corporate junior designer position over one too many trainings on how to run a copier, she has no reason to return.

With the money she’ll receive in her inheritance, she can finally open the antique store she’s always dreamed of – that as long as her ability to see ghosts stays dormant. In Seattle, her gift had dwindled down to seeing the occasional ghost during her morning runs in her Queen Anne neighborhood. But here? New Orleans is filled with the visitors, as her grandmother always called them. And now, they are finding Eddie and want to chat. Especially about the most recent murder.

Can Eddie carve out a real life here among the spirit world?

MY THOUGHTS

This was a short but entertaining cozy mystery. It felt like just an introduction to the series, like it was setting everything up for future installments. The mystery didn't get started until about the halfway point, and since this was such a short read, it felt a little rushed. I did enjoy getting to know Eddie and her brother, and the unique family gift. And I always love a New Orleans setting. I definitely plan on checking out the next book. If you're in the mood for a quick and light paranormal cozy, I think you'll enjoy this one!
