The Sleeping and the Dead
The Sleeping and the Dead: A Mystery | Jeff Crook
5 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A new mystery series starring a Memphis crime scene photographer with ghostly assistance Jackie Lyons, a former vice detective with the Memphis Police Department, is trying to put her life back together. Her husband has served her with divorce papers, she's broke, and her apartment has just gone up in flmaes. But a failed marriage, unemployment, and an incinerated home aren't her only problems: she also sees ghosts. Since Jackie left her job with the MPD, she's been making ends meet by photographing crime scenes for her old friends on the force, and for the occasional collector. When she's called to the murder scene of the Playhouse Killer's latest victim, she starts seeing crime scenes from a different perspective-- her new camera captures spectral images. As her camera brings her ghostly visitors into sharper relief, it also points her toward clues the ex-detective in her won't let go: Did the man she has just started dating kill his wife? Is the Playhouse Killer someone in her inner circle? As Jackie works to separate natural from supernatural, friend from foe, and light from dark, the spirit world and her own difficult past become the only things she can depend on to solve the case.

EadieB This was a very interesting mystery. It was a great story with a plot that kept me reading until the very surprise ending. There were two killings she was trying to solve and they both came together in the end to a conclusion that I didn't expect. I will be looking into the next book in the series as Jackie Lyons is a very interesting character. If you love surprise endings then you would love this book. 1y

I really enjoyed this book! Wasn't really sure if I was going to like it when I started it but it really blew me away. It had an intricate plot with twists and turns I didn't see coming! Really enjoyed the writing style and the characters. Definitely recommend it!
4.5/5 ⭐

I have a wicked migraine and my eyes are tired (is that even a thing??) So it's making reading very difficult. 😣😣
But on the bright side, I got my #booksleeve in the mail and love it!!! #gryffindor #harrypotter ❤💛

I just watched BOOKSANDBULLSHIT's April book haul, and I've been inspired to check out The Sleeping and the Dead, about a Crime Scene Photographer who has the ability to see ghosts.
