Review of 'One Grave at a Time' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
If I ever thought about what "paranormal" means to me, I'd probably say something like enraged ghosts, ouija boards, witch-hunts, humans contacting spirits, ... - and the whole package is in this book.

It's great that Ian appears a lot since I really like him! Medium Tyler is responsible for most of the fun bits and I was relieved that Cat uses her head to solve her problems. And for me, the better story was the mystery behind the team's new chief - there is more to him than it shows, but I guess I'll have to wait for the next book!
