In Unfinished Business, our intrepid psychic investigator liked being able to talk to her dead mother Fran but could have done without all of the other souls who had yet to cross over. But once she suffered another devastating loss, those ghosts went- and so did her mother.Angela knows, deep down, that she *should* help, but it isn't until her best friend needs her that she *wants* to help. Is that going to be the key to getting back her gift? But is she does help, is she going to be the town freak show? That's a burden she might reluctantly bear- but can she ask her family to as well? And speaking of family...ugh, why can't being a psychic medium help her figure out what is going on (this time) with her teenage daughter?If the first book was about the ties that bind parent and child, this book is about what friends will do for each other when the chips are down. Angela may think Mel is crazy on a good day, but she's going to make damn sure she doesn't completely lose her mind.This book made me tear up in a few places, particularly when Angela came across her most vulnerable ghost to date. Not going to give it away, but it's heartbreaking. Still, she manages to make (Starbucks raspberry-flavored) lemonade out of the lemons she was handed, and by the end you're going to smile.Recommended for fans of comic paranormal mystery.
