Publisher's summary

In the business of unfinished business...

It’s been over six months since a freak accident left pathologist Tristan Everett able to see ghosts, something he has yet to confess to his boyfriend. Instead, he now has a new calling, one he’s not entirely happy about… help the dead resolve their unfinished business so they can pass into the light, sounds simple right?

Wrong…

When the spirit of a sweet old lady suffering from Alzheimers follows him home he has no idea how to help her. When he finds out she’s been murdered by arsenic poisoning, a curiously outdated murder weapon, he once again finds himself tangled up in a murder investigation.

For Inspector Danny Hayes of New Scotland Yard, life couldn’t be better. After moving to London and meeting Tristan he’s ready to move their relationship to the next level, but something weird is going on with Tristan, he’s acting very strangely and with a killer on the loose he’s not taking any chances. He’s determined to discover whatever it is Tristan’s hiding from him.

Surrounded by a bunch of potentially murderous old ladies and aided by his sidekick, deceased drag queen and spirit guide in training, Dusty, Tristan must unravel the mystery of Mrs Delores Abernathy’s unfinished business and find the courage to share his deepest secret with the man he loves.

From author Vawn Cassidy, comes the second book in this funny and touching paranormal MM romance/dark comedy suspense series.

 Truth comes to light in more ways than one.

A new ghost friend to help and a new mystery to unravel. Tristan second case might just be even more crazy than the first. 

The story was so much fun and had twist and turns that I didn’t expect. Who knew old ladies could hide so many skeletons in their closets. Dusty and Tristan are still absolutely hilarious and Tristan and Danny are still adorable. Its a great sequel and the teaser at the end makes me even more excited for the third case.

Excellent!!! Again

Another excellent book by author Vawn Cassidy, with another excellent narration from my favourite narrator Joel Leslie. Only downside is the wait for the next book. Great series!! Highly recommend.

Great ghosts!

A wonderful screwball comedy! The main couple — coroner and detective are devoted to each other and crime solving. But the ghostly spirit guide, drag + drama queen Dusty adds her brilliant mayhem to what starts out as a puzzling but very cold case involving a WWII era murder

Joel makes an ok story great

This series is decidedly lackluster in the romance but fun in the mystery and the ghosts are the best part. I disliked the secret keeping and lack of relationship between MC’s but was invested in the mystery and the HEA for the ghosts haha.

What a great follow up

I love that Tristan has this connection with the dead and Mz. Dusty is the sidekick. Danny and Tristan are perfect for each other. Of course. I love love love there will be more books.
As usual Joel Leslie is awesome narrator. I love his work.

Love this series!

Joel Leslie is one of my FAVORITE narrators and Vawn Cassidy writes characters that seem as if they were written just for him to bring to life. I hope Audible brings more of Vawn’s works in this series into their library because I want more of Tristan, Danny, and Dusty.

Outstanding!

So much sweetness and heart for a m/m paranormal romance. The evolution of Tristan and Dusty’s friendship is beyond lovely and Mrs. Dolores Abernathy’s scene where she finds her long sought peace? Swoon! Joel Leslie is the GOAT, as usual.
