Strange things have been happening since Hildy started moonlighting with local police, but a desperate late-night call involving a former patient from Sorenson General Hospital tops the list. Although Danny Hildebrand has been tormented by hallucinations for years, he swears he's being haunted for real by the victim of a grisly murder . . . The rambling ghost story seems like another delusion. But after a body turns up in a neglected farmhouse crawling with secrets, Hildy and the magnetic Detective Bob Richmond rush to explain Danny's knowledge of the incident. As the crime-solving partners unwittingly grow closer while examining a series of eerie leads, they realize that surviving past sunrise means shedding light on a criminal willing to do whatever it takes to stay in the shadows . . . Praise for Annelise Ryan and her Mattie Winston series "The funniest deputy coroner to cut up a corpse since, well, ever!" -Laura Levine, author of Killer Cruise "The forensic details will interest Patricia Cornwell readers . . . while the often slapstick humor and the blossoming romance between Mattie and Hurley will draw Evanovich fans." - Booklist "Has it all- suspense, laughter, a spicy dash of romance." - New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen " Ryan smoothly blends humor, distinctive characters, and authentic forensic detail." - Publishers Weekly
This is a cozy mystery book. It is the second book in a helping hands cozy mystery series. I have read and reviewed the first book in the series too. I have to say I liked this book a lot more than the first book. The main person we follow in this book is Hildy Schneider which is a social worker that works for the local hospital and does ride a longs with the local police department. In this book Hildy has to prove a former patient named Danny did not kill someone or is part of a drug ring. I really love the ending, and I did not see it coming until it was being played out of us. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
