Lethal Takeout

Ghost Post Mysteries, Book 1

By: Vered Ehsani

Narrated by: Steven Jay Cohen

A dark urban fantasy with a sense of humor

When Axe Cooper is murdered while picking up Chinese takeout, he's pretty irritated about the loss of a good dinner, not to mention being dead. Not prepared to move on just yet, Axe decides to stick around and haunt his best friend Lily Chan while trying to figure out why anyone would kill a janitor. In the meantime, Axe is hired by The Ghost Post to track down recently deceased writers. As he learns more about his new phantom friends, Axe realizes that his murder is not an isolated event and that if he doesn't learn to fly like Superman, Lily could be next.

Critic reviews

"The storyline is crisp and moves at an enjoyable pace. There is humor, which is sometimes dark, but will have you chuckling out loud.... I truly enjoyed reading Lethal Takeout and look forward to reading the next instalment of The Ghost Post Mystery series. This book is suitable for adults and YA."

How did I miss this?!

I was unaware of this book until very recently, and it surprised me in many ways (all of them good). I have read her paranormal steampunk set in early Nairobi and loved them, so I was surprised to see that this is set in current times in Vancouver. I really enjoyed the imaginative turn taken with the afterlife/ghost theme as it is so different from the ordinary yet is written so clearly that my imagination visualized everything easily. The characters certainly are and become real very quickly. I plan to read more in this series because it is so interesting!
I have the audio, and I am certain that the soft spoken delivery of Steven Jay Cohen really did add many positives to my enjoyment.
I requested and received a free review copy via AudioBookBOOM from the publisher, author, or narrator.

Unique Story

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It has a unique premise and diverse and frequently humorous characters. There is action, adventure, and mystery. There is some suspense and drama, but it is presented with a sense of humor. There isn't a lot fear and angst. More of a comedic suspense mystery. It's entertaining and a lot of fun.

The narration was very good. It was easy to distinguish the different characters. I loved Shadow. The voice he was given sounded like Morgan Freeman to me, and that's who I thought of every time he appeared in the audiobook, especially with his wise-cracking demeanor.

My only disappointment is that the story seemed incomplete at the end. I assume since this is labeled as Book 1, that there is still more of the story to come. The rest of the series is not out yet, so I will have to wait to learn how the story ends.
