Loved being back with our favourite accidental medium Tanz! In the third instalment of this series we find Tanz drawn towards Cross Bones graveyard in London. There’s something very wrong with the spirits who remain there and the graveyard is starting to fall apart. Sidetracked from her original mission to track down a missing woman, Tanz begins to look into what’s causing the disruption and why so many spirits remain at the site.
This was an absolute hoot. As always, Tanz is full of sass and humour and is a genuinely loveable character. I was so addicted to the storyline and thought it was really cool that it was based around a real place! I was immediately looking up Cross Bones graveyard to see what it looked like. I loved that Sheila was back in this book too, as she bounces off Tanz so perfectly. I really enjoyed the links to history in this one. This book is an absolute must if you like a good cosy-supernatural story with a good dose of giggles. Hit the nail on the head again Tracy Whitwell!
Tanz is a Geordie actress and medium in London who is faced with the puzzling mystery of Cross Bones graveyard in Southwark. Initially asked to look into the disappearance of a young woman, she is called to the graveyard by the spirits she communicates with. What she finds there is paranormal activity so strong it's literally tearing the graveyard apart. With help from her friends on either side of the divide between the living and dead, she must figure out who these apparitions are and what they want with her. This is the best book on the series so far. Genuinely equal parts thrilling, spooky, poignant, and hilarious.
I was absolutely delighted to be granted this book by NetGalley and Pan Macmillan. I devoured the first two novels in this series by Tracy Whitwell - The Accidental Medium and Gin Palace - and absolutely loved them. Tanz is one of my favourite characters in a novel. This book was funny, scary, emotional, sweet, beautiful and just wonderful. I think it’s my favourite of the three books so far, crammed with ghosts and spooky goings on. I really hope that there are more of Tanz’s adventures to come, especially now her witchiness has ramped up by several notches! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ with added 🫣😨😱☠️👻🧙🏻♀️
Tracey Whitwell has a rare talent to make us laugh and empathise with the actress and reluctant medium character of Tanz the frequently out of work actress.
This third book in the series sees Tanz being increasingly disillusioned with acting and still having to cope with the after effects of her previous medium adventures. She’s offered a part in a play ‘off the West End’. Finding it to be a car crash production Tanz is heartened by her fellow thesps being great comrades in drinking and the full English. Outside of the acting she’s having some very dark dreams and visions, her best friend is leaving London and she’s definitely got post traumatic stress from being held captive by a psycho. Her love life is a bust since her last squeeze went travelling but there’s light at the end of this particular tunnel in the shape of Neil the policeman.
It’s very funny, very spooky and quite emotional. I do love this series of books and hope there are more adventures to come.
Absolutely brilliant! I loved the Accidental Medium and this eagerly awaited second book did not disappoint. I love all the characters and the storyline was just fantastic. Highly recommend.
