Book Review
An Ex to Grind in Deadwood

AN EX TO GRIND IN DEADWOOD by Ann Charles,  A Screen Tapping, Fast Past Read

Through the books, readers have been wondering how Violet is able to do what she does, experience the spooky and come through. Finally, we are getting some answers but not all. Things are coming together to give the reader more information and more meat on the bones of the stories in the series.

Because this is a series, the book ended on a cliffhanger and to be honest I wanted to start the next book right away (so I did).

Several new characters made an appearance in this installment of Deadwood Mysteries that warrant a mention. First is Freesia, who Violet had an immediate connection with as the owner of a rooming house and possible client. Second, I should mention Stone Hawk (what a moniker huh?) who is a smarmy law enforcement officer who has a not-so-great history with Coop. Lastly we meet Violet’s sperm donor who elicits an immediate reaction of revulsion and wondering WTH Violet was thinking in the first place.

Violet’s children play a part in this storyline but it’s more peripheral than other books so far. Something tells me that won’t be the case for long as a picture of Violet’s son is found in a murder victim’s home.

I love this series! Each book gets better and better. Every plotline is fresh and exciting. Filled with ghosts, demons, murders and other unexplainable phenomenon, every book so far in this series surpassed the previous one.

Recommend?

I recommend this series of books to everyone….I will admit I have become a bit of a fan-girl for Ms. Charles’ characters and this series.
