Greywalker by Kat Richardson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Greywalker" is a wonderful beginning to what I hope is a long series. The protagonist, Harper Blaine, is a small-time private investigator who dies at the very beginning of the book. The paramedics bring her back to life, but her time in death has changed her in a fundamental way. One of the main plots of the novel is how Harper learns about these changes and how to cope with the upheaval in her life. The other main plot has to do with a missing piece of furniture, a missing trust fund boy, and an electronic guy who doesn't have a phone number, but who you can generally find hanging around the library.
I like how the author works through Harper's disbelief; I would have found it fake if she just accepted everything immediately. I also like how the author wove the two main plots together in such a way as to make the story flow smoothly from one event to another.
Overall, I truly liked this book.

This sounds like a pretty cool and creepy story line. I'll have to add it to my long list of to-read books. :)
