The way that Hiro manages to get himself assigned to the homicide detective is so bizarre and hilarious! It’s clear that Hiro is the real deal when he discovers murder weapons and can talk to the ghosts to determine who murdered them and hand that info over to the police and they can close cases. They don’t exactly see eye to eye, but when Hiro is able to help with investigations, Maddox grudgingly has to let him in. He has discovered the bodies of victims of homicide too many times and he’s on the radar of Homicide Detective Maddox Booker. But he can see and hear ghosts and he can even feel them if he really concentrates. Though more is planned for this couple, the mystery is solved and there is a happy ending.

Ghost of Lies is full of action, mystery, humor, and romance. He’s definitely snagged my attention, but when he nearly winds up dead, I know he’s getting closer to the truth-and if I don’t do something soon, he might be next. Hiro is determined and charming, and no matter what I do, I can’t stop letting him get involved. The words of the dead could lead us to the serial killer and even tell us who is next, but ghosts? There’s no such thing as ghosts. To add to my frustration, I keep running into Hiro at crime scenes only to hear him claim that he can talk to ghosts. When another man dies, I know we have a serial killer on our hands-the same murderer who has remained elusive for a year and a half. Still, the more I’m around Maddox, the more I realize that beneath that surly exterior is a kind and caring man who will do anything to help.

It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death… the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind.
