Read this one as audiobook.

It was okay. The best parts were the flashbacks - the stories of Rita’s upbringing and experiences learning about her gift. There’s a lot of emphasis on the fact that being around death and being Navajo are somehow incompatible - I don’t know the context for that but it introduced a unique tension to Rita’s life.

The present day story was the more boring bit. Very standard dirty cop situation. For much of the book no progress is made with it - you just have ghost Irma hassling Rita to do something about it over and over again.

Like many others, I do want to note that the beginning chapter is very strong. Graphic imagery that leaves you pretty grossed out, but it loses that intensity pretty quickly.

I feel like there was a missed opportunity here to do more with Rita’s ghost connections. In most cases the ghosts were just… annoying. I wish something more happened with that aspect of the story.
