Falling for the Gravekeeper by Gena Showalter, Jill Monroe

4.0

Less of a new book in this small town, cosy, murder mystery series and more a superb look at the first book in the series, through the POV of Conrad.  A chance to see how the gruff, commitment phobic, stoic and all around super Agent manages to fall butt over teakettle in love with the quirkiest, scatty brained, hat loving Graveskeeper!  

Conrad well and truly fell first for the enigmatic Jane.  He has some early rivalry with Beau for her affections but I had to laugh at the way they sort of bro-coded their way out of fighting for her affections LOL.  He is definitely a man with a plan and there is now way he's letting Jane's "curse" get in his way. He really does have to fight a full on smile at some of her antics and pretend to be the stern homicide cop.

You could certainly read this without having read book 1 but I think I would read this after book 1, so you can see the whole he said/she said that is going on in Jane and Conrad's mind.  I can't wait for the next Ladling adventure.  Will Conrad and Beau make it through the chaos that Jane seems to attract/create?
