Acerca de esta escucha
Tori Van Camp wakes one morning on a luxurious ocean liner where she's offered whatever a person might desire: food, clothes, recreation, and the companionship of congenial people. But Tori has no memory of booking a cruise. What she does have is a vivid recollection of being shot point blank in the chest.
With the help of the stunningly handsome Mike and the unnervingly serene Nancy, Tori soon learns the purpose of her voyage. Still, she's haunted by the image of the gun, the crack of the shot, and the malevolent face of the shooter.
Who wanted the young personal secretary dead, and why? Determined to find out, Tori enlists the help of Seamus, an eccentric but shrewd detective. Together they leave the Afterlife and embark on an investigation unlike anything Tori ever thought possible. Death is all around, the future is uncertain, and if Tori doesn't act quickly, two people she cares about in Grand Rapids, Michigan, are prime candidates for murder.

Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

Historia
Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surêté du Québec and his team of investigators are called in to the scene of a suspicious death in a rural village south of Montreal. Jane Neal, a local fixture in the tiny hamlet of Three Pines, just north of the U.S. border, has been found dead in the woods. The locals are certain it’s a tragic hunting accident and nothing more, but Gamache smells something foul in these remote woods, and is soon certain that Jane Neal died at the hands of someone much more sinister than a careless bowhunter.

For maverick LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, the body in the drainpipe at Mulholland Dam is more than another anonymous statistic.

From a dangerous maze of blind alleys to a daring criminal heist beneath the city, his survival instincts will once again be tested to their limit.

Where does The Dead Detective Agency rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It runs a strong 4, where 3 is enjoyable but unsurprising and 5 is Best in Show.What other book might you compare The Dead Detective Agency to and why?
It reminds me a bit in places of Raymond Chandler, which I really enjoyed.What about JoBe Cerny’s performance did you like?
I thought his performance was well done. Voice characters were easily distinguished, and the women were as good as a baritone can do. Cadence and pace were good.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, indeed!an enjoyable, somewhat noir, dead PI mystery

I can honestly say that this book was like no other I have ever read/listened too. That's not to mean it was a bad book, just totally different from what I am used to. The narration was okay, nothing spectacular as was the storyline. If I had not had this for review, I am not sure that I would have finished it.
Definitely different

The only problem I have with this series is that I spend too much time listening in my car in the driveway of my home, so engrossed in the story that I cannot leave.... If I could give higher than a 5 star I would. I wish that they would make a TV series out of the Dead Detective Series.( I just hope that if they ever did they would resist the temptation to cast Shamus as eye candy rather than the incredibly interesting, deep, elderly character he is.) This book makes me wonder even more about Shamus' past....
The Narrator really plays Shamus brilliantly too. The character interplay is excellent. There are times when many characters are interacting and it was all very clear and well acted out. I was given this book for free as a gift in exchange for a fair and unbiased review which I have gladly given here.
EXCELLENT! Peg Herring is now my favorite author!

The general plot of this is a good story, and I felt like it had great promise. However, it fell short because of how the story was composed. In the beginning of the book you alternate chapters going between Tori's world (the murder victim) in the afterlife & Madison's cop life as he works to solve her murder. This was ok in the beginning, but ended up making the book feel choppy. You never get to follow a consistent story, but rather two which halts on & off. At one point the book even rotates in a third story line from the perspective of Carmen. This switching of plot lines continues throughout & I was not a fan.
Finally, about halfway through the book some of these plot lines intersect, but it's done in such a convoluted way that it simply gets more confusing. I don't want to give away anything, but you have Madison & his partner who is now possessed by the soul of Tori trying to find answers. Too much.
This book really lost me when the ghosts went to earth and took over human "hosts" ... It was a little too sci-fi & a lot of story time was taken up describing how it works to take over a host body etc. It would have been better if they just stayed ghosts or got temporary human bodies of some sort. But I don't love the host idea. It's strange & hard to follow.
Overall the story line had great promise in the beginning but stumbled in presentation from a readers perspective. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast.

The eternal need to know "Why?" leads the recently-murdered heroine to bargain a return from the middle-ground between death and eternity to observe the outcome of her death and to untangle the mystery of why it happened.
The characters encountered are a bit formulastic, but were fun for all of that. The narrator handled the voices decently. There were cliche moments in the plot, but they were handled with humor.
On the negative side, the reading was just a bit slow and deliberate for my tastes and the plot was pretty straightforward, except for the imagining of the afterlife.
A light read; fun and pleasant.
