What happens when an exorcist who spent a lifetime banishing ghosts gets murdered and becomes one?

When Jake Fletcher died, he discovered a horrible truth: the method he was using to send souls to the afterlife wasn’t sending them to a better place.... It was obliterating them.

To atone for his mortal sins, he becomes a spectral detective, a phantom PI who helps restless spirits depart the earthly plane by bringing their killers to justice.

His latest job is no open-and-shut case though. The ghost of a dead woman needs his help to pass on to the other side, but for that to happen, Jake will have to defeat a demon.

Does he have what it takes to send this killer back to hell, or is another soul about to be lost forever?

Mystery, scares, and the paranormal collide in this bizarre noir. Fans of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files will love this pause-resisting detective story with a supernatural twist.

Note: All the audiobooks in the Spectral Detective series can be listened to as stand-alone novels.

This audiobook was originally titled Fresh Hell as part of the Ghosted series.

This story follows Jake Fletcher, or rather the ghost of Jake Fletcher, as he begins the arduous task of making amends for the wrong he unwittingly did while alive. In life, he was an exorcist who truly believed that he was doing a service for the spirits he exorcised. Sadly, it turns out that he was, in fact, obliterating them rather than helping them to find their proper place in the Great Hereafter. He fears that his final judgement will be quite unpleasant if he is unable to cancel out some of the red in his ledger and find a way into the good graces of the Man Upstairs. As a spectral detective, he feels he can make a positive contribution to the society of the living as well as to the spirits of people struggling with the effects of their untimely demise. His new profession puts him in contact with all manner of the Uncanny. Be prepared for action, danger, mystery, humor, surprises, and top shelf snarky repartee. I highly recommend this brilliant and entertaining story to all urban fantasy enthusiasts.

Highest marks to the narrator, as well. Mark Restuccia did an outstanding job of bringing the story to life and making each character distinct. He was the perfect choice for this wonderful story.

While I did purchase a copy of this book, I was provided with an audio copy by the authors and I am voluntarily offering my honest and unbiased review.

Brilliant benchmark urban fantasy!

I love this series, and somehow I ended up listening to the books out of order. This one is the best of the bunch. it's filled with Jake's trademark humor, action, and unforgettable characters. The mystery Jake is trying to solve is absorbing too, and you can't stop reading/listening as soon as you see what happened to the first victim.

Amazing!

A hard boiled exorcist dies and is punished for his sins by being forced to remain on earth as a ghost private detective. Very enjoyable narration and story.

Wonderful story about a Ghost PI
