~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



A POSTCARD FROM HELL is the first book in The Goblin Dicks Paranormal Detective Agency series. 



There are a lot of references to past events, but this is supposed to be the first in the series.  It left me feeling that I had missed a book that doesn’t exist.  It’s not that I felt I needed to have read another book, just that there were all of these references to something else.  For example, if I needed to know about the attack that left Dionne scarred, then why not a prologue, at the very least, that provided that?



Now, the Postcard from Hell?  That was a fun paranormal mystery with a dash of romance.  Dionne and her partner at the Goblin Dicks Paranormal Detective Agency are working around the clock for a big client who has received threats.  The first night that Dionne is to relieve Harrison, her partner, for her shift of babysitting the client a gas explosion happens on another floor in the building.  Thus begins the many questions about a pretty little postcard for a seaside resort.



“An ancient handwriting on a modern-day postcard with a modern-day message, with a ridiculously expensive stamp on it. I’ve got to admit, this one has me baffled.”



The story is creative, the characters are deliciously diverse, and the plot is beautifully tangled and twisted.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
