One Crooked House : A Cozy Paranormal Mystery

by Patricia Srigley

If you are trying to sell a property that is haunted, cursed, or a former insane asylum, Mandy-Lynn is the real estate agent for you. She will exorcise those 'hidden defects' faster than you can say, ‘Is that a really bad paint job? Or are the walls bleeding?’ Unless things go horribly wrong of course.More … Mandy-Lynn Snow was a perfectly normal real estate agent, doing a perfectly adequate job, until she drowned in a frigid swimming pool at her company's most affluent listing. It was all the tiger’s fault, for chasing her into it. Death is one place you're not supposed to come back from, yet Mandy-Lynn does just that. And after 42 minutes in the land of the dead, nothing in her life will ever be normal again. She has hair-raising hallucinations, and shares conversations with her cat. Apparently he can talk, and who knew cats could be so snarky?Mandy-Lynn is either suffering from PTSD - Post Tiger Stress Disorder – or maybe, just maybe, there's another reason entirely.

A humorous cozy paranormal mystery, sure to keep you guessing. Think Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Books - with tuna cravings instead of doughnuts. Remember the cat.

This book was weird, but I really liked it. I'm not sure if it's in spite of its weirdness or because of its weirdness. It was funny, and the main character just can't catch a break. Her cat was adorable, and I'm not really a fan of epilogues but this one made me smile all over my face. I definitely want to check out the sequel.

A fun read

This book made me smile. The main character is funny and endearing. It's a light read which includes a mystery stolen art, and a bit of romance. Perfect for these stay at home days. Escape reality for a few hours

Clever and well written

Fun to read — love the cat. It seemed the early chapters were a bit “wobbly” in the setup. But the story was really interesting when it got rolling. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series.

4 stars. This book was.. weird. There were a few times that I was like “there’s no way she’ll be able to tie all these disparate events together” but then somehow they all do end up being related. Overall not a bad read, debating if I’ll read the sequel.

It was a good read, very comedic.

Looking forward to the second book 🙂. Enjoyed it right until the end. Would recommend this to someone else. 🙂
