She is so dispicable that I could not care what happened to her. ( ) Ophelia Wylde is being detained in Dodge while her identity is being verified (long story). To raise some funds she performs her psychic act and give private readings. When she crosses the wrong cowboy, he seeks justice by burying her alive. She is rescued but the experience has turned her modest psychic gift wide open. Now she is on a mission to solve a girl's murder. I enjoyed this book. The old west setting seemed very real. I liked Ophelia even though she is a bit morally challenged. I also like bounty hunter Jack Caulder. This book goes a bit more paranormal than just talking to ghosts so it might not appeal to cozy readers who like just a touch of magic. Anyway, I will be reading the next in the series.

HTML:McCoy is a master of his craft. â??Ralph Cotton, USA Today bestselling author In the Old West, legends die hardâ??and so do witnesses. But that won't stop psychic-turned-detective Ophelia Wylde from finding fresh graves, digging up clues, and catching wanted criminalsâ??with a little help from the dead. . . Dead Men Tell No Lies The Civil War is over, and many a young widow has turned to spiritualism to contact their husbands on "the other side." But Ophelia Wylde won't be fooled twice. After wasting her money on a phoney psychic, she decides if she can't beat 'em, join 'em. She leaves New Orleans and heads West, selling her services as a spiritual medium who speaks to the dead. By the time she reaches Dodge City, business is booming. Except for a handsome but skeptical bounty hunter named Jack Calder, no one suspects Ophelia of running a con gameâ??until an unfortunate "reading" of a girl who's still living exposes her to a townfull of angry customers. As punishment, the mob drags Ophelia to Boot Hill and buries her alive in a fresh grave overnight. That's when the dead start speaking. To her. For real. And for dead people, they've got lots to say. . . "An entertaining romp with quirky characters that would make Mark Twain proud. McCoy has a gift for capturing the Old West in all its colorful and outrageous glory. I couldn't put this imaginative page-turner down." â??Margaret Coel, author of Buffalo Bill's Dead Now "Tightly drawn characters, a vile villain. . .satisfying. . .a compelling read." â??Publisher's Weekly on Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
