This is my first read by author, Earl Javorsky. The paranormal aspect of this book was good. I liked that the main character was a newly resurrected PI. It gave Charlie personality. Yet, behind every resurrected person is a good friend. In this case, it is Homicide Detective Dave Putnam. Dave was likable. He may have some flaws but that is what name him human and what I liked about him. Together these two make a good team. Throw in a psychic and you have a real party.
Speaking of psychic's; Tamara is an interesting character. She is a bit kooky but aren't all psychics a bit kooky. She really did have some psychic ability. The clues she gave the police did help solve cases. Which the most recent case was fine. I just wanted more. The action and intensity was more of a light tap then a punch in the stomach. The story did not grab me and hold me the whole time. In regards to the whole package, it was almost there. Although, I liked what I read and would try Mr. Javorsky again.

A new investigation
This is a sequel story to Down Solo, and I never read the first one, but this story does not require the first one be read. It can pretty much stand on its own. I do wish I read the first one, and I will one day. I liked Charlie, and he has his own way about him, which makes him a unique and especially talented for investigations. And, Charlie is still getting used to dealing with his own murder. It's a definite unique story, with a twist on an old staple of investigations. It's full of dark and off-beat humor, and it leads the way for great storytelling
