From the Grave

 In David Housewright's From the Grave, the 17th installment in the Mac MacKenzie mystery series, this caper deals with evil spirits and psychic mediums and dealing with the past. It all started when Shelby Dunston attended a psychic reading with psychic Hannah Braeten and her prediction that someone offered money to kill Rushmore "Mac" McKenzie. From when learns about this, PI Rushmore is quite intrigued to be informed about this and dug into the cold cases with his former partner, Bobby Dunston. It led him to the armored robbery heist and the death of Leland Hayes. It sent McKenzie on a wild goose chase to look for clues for the money and searched for answers to those who associated to Leland in the past. When Kayla Janas, a young psychic protegeé and college student, meets McKenzie, she claims the same thing on what Leland had said. McKenzie had no idea on who and what to believe until the end when it was all for show and the biggest discovery of what happened to the missing money and dispelling Leland's evil haunted spirit away for good.

 I love the paranormal twist to this compelling mystery with shocking turns on every page. I cared for McKenzie who was caught in the middle of this twisted cold case from his past. I loved how he cared for Nina and how he always turned down her proposals--maybe he would say yes this time. I cared for Kayla who's new to the psychic medium art to see dead people and give people readings from her departed loved ones. I did feel bad for Nina who always waited for McKenzie to accept her proposals, but loved she owned a jazz club to promote new music. I loved the dual locations of the Twin Cities that had compelling scenic settings to took you place, above the grave. The themes of the story are to be careful of your past, or it might come back to haunt you.

 If you love mind-boggling mysteries that take you on a thrill ride with plenty of non-stop action, lots of suspense, a hint of the paranormal, and shocking turns to keep you guessing, give From the Grave a read today!
