2013 book 146

Rosemary Clement-Moore's Spirit and Dust
This is a sequel/companion to Texas Gothic, focusing on one of the cousins of that book's protagonist--a cousin who can communicate with the dead. She's assisting the FBI with cases when she gets suckered into helping find a kidnapped girl, but also there are weird cults and Egyptologists (including the ghost of one of the main character's ancestors, who is pretty awesome) and whatnot. The plot of this one was kind of all over the place and pretty predictable, but I liked the characters a lot, the writing is a lot of fun, and much of it takes place at a museum (which has a helpful librarian!) so I liked it anyway. I really hope to see more of the Goodnights. B/B+.
