About this listen

The Skelf women live in the face of death every day, running a funeral directors and private investigators firm in Edinburgh, and their own grief intertwines with that of their clients as they reel from shocking past events.

A fist-fight by an open grave leads Dorothy to investigate the possibility of a faked death, while a young woman's obsession with Hannah threatens her relationship with Indy and puts them both in mortal danger. An elderly man claims he's being abused by the ghost of his late wife, while ghosts of another kind come back to haunt Jenny from the grave...pushing her to breaking point.

As the Skelfs struggle with increasingly unnerving cases and chilling danger lurks close to home, it becomes clear that grief, in all its forms, can be deadly....

Not up to it’s predecessors

I’ve enjoyed the earlier books in this series, but the plot of this offering is both thin and far fetched. Dorothy is chasing the ghost of a Japanese woman, and a “pseudocide”, neither of which turn out to be much of a mystery. Jenny is behaving badly and it’s very hard to like her in this book. She adds nothing to the overall narrative beyond disgust at her drunken self pity. Hannah has a stalker but - quite unbelievably - chooses to help her rather than take steps against her, with almost fatal consequences. Craig continues - via his sister - to wreak havoc, again, quite unbelievably. Not much of a plot and the characters feel like a let down.
