About this listen

First Grave on the Right is the smashing, award-winning debut novel that introduces Charley Davidson: part-time private investigator and full-time Grim Reaper.

Charley sees dead people. That's right, she sees dead people. And it's her job to convince them to "go into the light." But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e., murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.

This is a thrilling debut novel from Darynda Jones, an exciting newcomer to the world of paranormal romantic suspense.

First Grave on the Right is the winner of the 2012 Rita Award for Best First Book.

What the critics say

“Sexy, sassy . . . Jones's characters, both living and dead, are colorful and endearing. . . . Cheeky charm . . . sarcastic wit.” —The Associated Press

“Jones's wickedly witty debut will delight aficionados of such humorous paranormals as Casey Daniels's Pepper Martin Mysteries and Dakota Cassidy's Accidental Friends series.” —Booklist (starred review)

“Fast-talking Charley's wicked exuberance and lust for life will appeal to fans of MaryJanice Davidson and Janet Evanovich and maybe fill a hole for those mourning the recently canceled Ghost Whisperer.” —Publishers Weekly

Amazing first book!

This was such an engaging story! The fact that Charlie is a grim reaper is a really fresh and fun take on paranormal stories that usually just include vampires and werewolves.

Charlie's life is one adventure after another with sex, humor, and mystery all rolled into one. I was laughing out loud throughout the whole book and wanting more every time I put it down.

I am so enthralled to see there is so many books! Already downloaded book two.

Love this series

Great kick off to a new series can't wait to keep going. Good narration, believable characters. It is a bit sluggish at time. The listener can figure out what's going on before the characters do.

Don't waste your Credit

This was one of those buys that your excited about until you hear the first page. I did not like the story or the narrator and couldn't wait to get thru it just to mark it read. I felt like my credit was wasted on this.
