This is the most current in the "Ghost Duster" mass market series, and for some reason they seem to be difficult to get from my Library.

Sadie was a 2nd grade teacher, until the suicide of her brother Brian. After his death, she quit her teaching job and began, " Scene-2-Clean", where she now cleans up crime scenes, decomposition & unattended death sites. But Sadie has a "gift", she can also see & communicate w/ the deceased, whom she helps to complete unfinished business, help find their murderers, and move on.

Sadie's father has just passed and for some reason he is unable to move on.... he has a task to complete before leaving.

Sadie & her boyfriend Zack (a former Seattle PD) are cleaning up his ex-girlfriend's mother's house (she was a hoarder) when they encounter a mummified baby and a particularly nasty ghost, who has poltergeist abilities. The ghost refuses to leave as some of the boxes in the upper bedrooms were his and he is protecting them....

Zack is hurt by the ghost & resorts to being taken care of by his ex (who is a nurse) and she supplies him w/ pain killers to which is he addicted..... The police who are now cleaning up the house since the discovery of the mummified infant, are also being attacked by the ghost....

Sadie does her best to interview the owner of the house, who is in assisted living for care of her Alzheimer's/Dementia and begins to get the necessary information, when her van is vandalized and she is almost murdered twice.... and then assaulted more.

While working on & off on the hoarder's house, Sadie is also called to clean up the remains of a former male model turned homeless junkie in an under-construction mall boutique and a janitor in an "elite" school for gifted children.

The clues are all there if one pays attention, and for once I did! It was a light and interesting read, it held my interest all through to the conclusion. ( )

Sadie and Zack are cleaning up his ex girlfriend's mother's house of hoarding when a mummified baby is discovered in a box. An angry ghost breaks Zack's ankle which leads to him getting back on prescription drugs and Sadie is being firebombed everywhere she turns.

Great addition to the series. Couldn't put it down. ( )

Dead and Kicking is the third book in Wendy Roberts' A Ghost Dusters Mystery series. It's a paranormal/supernatural mystery series with plenty of spook and lots of funny.

Sadie is an endearing main character who tries to use her power of second sight to send ghosts on to the hereafter. Things don't always go so well for her. She has trouble with vehicles, family, and her boyfriend. But she has her pet rabbit, Hairy to go home to at night.

The book is paced well and easy to read. You don't have to read the first two books to enjoy this one, although I personally prefer to read series from the beginning. Give Ghost Dusters, any book in the series, a try! ( )

Would have gotten a 5 star rating but the main character's inability to kick her boyfriend to the curb infuriated me. ( )
