Publisher's summary
"The strangest things happen when you're dead." (May Elizabeth Trump) The deathly silence is about to be broken. She disliked the company of others and death did little to warm her spirit. She had led an independent life and she faced death in much the same way. She was finally alone, finally free from the mindless babble of others, at least that's what she thought. May Elizabeth Trump was the rarest of spirits and she was none too happy about it either. She was a dead medium, a ghost who can speak with the living, and her services were to become in great demand. Flung into the limelight and smothered with unwanted attention, May soon discovers that it is not only ghosts with long awaited messages that have taken an interest in her. Something dark was lurking in the shadows, stalking her. Even the dead are not left to rest in peace. Dead Medium: A humorous, character driven story and a unique vision of life after death. Not your average ghost story.

But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before the cancer does.

When a spaceship landed in an open field in the quiet mill town of Sorrow Falls, Massachusetts, everyone realized humankind was not alone in the universe. With that realization everyone freaked out for a little while. Or almost everyone. The residents of Sorrow Falls took the news pretty well. This could have been due to a certain local quality of unflappability, or it could have been that in three years the ship did exactly nothing other than sit quietly in that field, and nobody understood the full extent of this nothing the ship was doing better than the people who lived right next door.

As she wrestles to get it back, a photograph falls to the ground - an old polaroid of three young women and their university professor.

An entertaining read
This book was very different from what I usually listen to, preferring zombies and vampires to ghosts,. However, I really enjoyed this book.

Hilarious! Calendar Girls meets Caspar the Ghost.
What did you love best about Dead Medium?
The book was really unusual. It's a mystery, and kind of a ghost story and a hilarious character comedic novel all at the same time. May Trump is a sort of likable curmudgeon... plain talking, no nonsense and with a wicked dry sense of sarcasm. When she dies she finds herself able to communicate with the living and becomes embroiled with a group of madcap amateur mediums who are kind of like Madame Arcate from Blithe Spirit times four. The book is very, very funny and the narration only adds to the humor. It was a delightful story to listen to.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the characters - they are a great mixed bag of personalities. It really had the feel of a kind of Calendar Girls or Exotic Marigold Hotel kind of energy combined with the grouchy, lovable humor of MC Beaton's Agatha Raisin novels. May Trump is a fabulous character and the author manages to create surprising levels and emotional depth to the story despite the far-fetched supernatural premise.
Have you listened to any of Joel Froomkin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't... but this is excellent. He has a great sense of comedic style - it really feels like you're listening to a radio drama performed by a bunch of witty grande dames. He made me laugh out loud several times.
Who was the most memorable character of Dead Medium and why?
It would be pretty hard to choose someone other than May Trump. She's got a Maggie Smith cutting humor that is hilarious.
Any additional comments?
The cover of the book makes the novel seem more spooky than it is. It's really a cozy english comedic mystery which a cast of wacky, wonderful chapters. Not a scary or dark tale in the least.

Bob @ Platypire Reviews
I got this audiobook on a whim, and I am not disappointed at all! A fun tale of the other side mingling with our own, living one, and characters that will make you laugh out loud while you fall in love with them.
The narration is amazing. Sometimes I could swear I was hearing Maggie Smith, which pleased me to no end. He put emphasis in the dialog in a way that helped me to visualize the story.
I loved it, every little bit of it. One of my favorite things I've listened to this year.

Great story and excellent narration.
I bought this book on a whim but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sometimes you need a book that makes you laugh and leave you with s smile.
The characters were interesting, colorful and fun.
I am just sad that there doesn't seem to be more in this vein in Peter John's catalogue on Amazon.

Mr. Peter, thank you so much for this brilliant book. The characters were so delightful and a blast to get to know. I loved it so much.
Also, your narrator, Joel Froomkin, was also brilliant.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. The performance was diverse enough that knowing the different characters took no effort at all.
Don’t we all secretly know this about cats?!

Pretty good once I got past the narration. It wasn’t bad narration, just the voice grated on me at first. Story is interesting and engaging.
