Review: DIfferent type of ghost story, cute book overall

I liked Rich Pickings for Ravens, it was the first book by Tom Conrad that I've read and I wasn't sure what to expect really. It was a totally different take on the ghost story as the lead wakes up to find himself dead on a sidewalk next to a bloody brick & a banana peel after a visit to a seedy business. He hooks up with other ghosts on his search to find out how and why he died in the first place. Honestly my favorite characters were not the ghosts, but the two detectives and their idiosyncrasies - love the idea of a professional cop who cannot hear herself screaming at people in the most inopportune moments! There was some cute, funny moments scattered throughout the book and that made it a pretty fun read overall. I will look for other works by this author in the future for sure!
