Blurb
Tanz is a wine-loving, straight-talking, once-successful TV actress from Gateshead, whose career has shrivelled like an antique walnut. She is still grieving for her friend Frank, who died in a car crash three years ago, and she has to find a normal job in London to fund her cocktail habit. When she starts work in a 'new age' shop, Tanz suddenly discovers that the voices she's hearing in her head are real, not the first signs of madness, and that she can give people 'messages' from beyond the grave. Alarmed, she confronts her little mam and discovers she is from a long line of psychic mediums. Despite an exciting new avenue of life opening up to Tanz, darkness isn't far away and all too soon there's murder in the air.
My Opinion
I learned about this book when I visited the Theakston's Crime Festival in Harrogate earlier this year, since then I have been on the lookout for this in my local library. I ended up listening to this as an audiobook, which was read by Tracy Whitwell. I have seen some mixed reviews about the writing in this novel, but having listened to her talk about The Accidental Medium I can see whit it has been written like this.
This was a lovely, quick escape from reality. With humour used in large amounts this will give you a few opportunities to chuckle.
Rating 4/5
