2021 book 225

 Cherie Priest's Grave Reservations

So this is your fairly typical paranormal/fantasy mystery, wherein a cop whose life was saved by a psychic travel agent enlists her help in solving a cold case, and she agrees, hoping he'll in turn help her solve her own cold case/tragic past. Funny/quippy writing, fine characters, the mystery itself is okayyyyy, but I could not get past my suspension of disbelief! Not that she was a psychic, or even that she was a millennial travel agent, but that a cop would do . . . any of this. I did like her whole psychic karaoke thing (but found the descriptions of the gay bar owner to be off-putting). Looks like this is the start of a series; I might read another one if I was in the right mood. B/B+.
