Jaime Lee Moyer's Delia's Shadow
So there's kind of a lot going on here: it's a few years after the San Francisco earthquake, and our first main character is a young woman (Delia) who can see ghosts, and is being haunted by a woman who was murdered (Shadow). Our other main character is Delia's best friend's fiance's partner--they're detectives trying to find a serial killer! These two storylines quickly intersect, obviously. I will say that some plotlines are fairly predictable, and some of the dialogue is awkward/overly exposition-y, but the characters and setting are charming, and the mystery part is suitably creepy. Things get a little bit overwrought by the end, but it was a pretty fun read. B/B+.
