Ether Man

by Shari Broyer

This quixotic story blends paranormal mystery, comedy and romance. If you hear a voice in your head, you’re schizoid, right? Not Esther, she’s conjured up Ether Man, a being she can hear and sometimes feel. But when Irving, the EM, refuses to fully manifest, a frustrated Esther vanquishes him and books a singles cruise for herself and her BFF, Yolanda. Aboard ship, Irving reappears as a “stowaway”; Esther meets the man of her dreams; and Yolanda meets trouble. Now, Esther and Yolanda must prove their innocence in a murder case, and Irving tags along.

Currently, she resides in tiny Ajo, AZ, a town just north of the Mexican border. Shari loves it. Although Ajo is very small; it’s also very “artsy” with a plethora of happenings: art shows, music concerts and other events—often held at the famed Curley School, remodeled to house artists and artisans. There’s never a dull moment, even in summer, when the town shrinks to a third of its winter population.

A page- turner

Hilarious, suspenseful, and entertaining !
I like the writing style of the author. She brings the two main characters to life that is difficult to forget them. They are so feisty.

WONDERFUL NOVEL!

I really enjoyed this book! I love fast paced mystery/thrillers and this hit the mark. Romance isn't my usual genre however, the way the author made this come together I simply couldn't put it down! GREAT READ BY A GREAT AUTHOR!
