I have a bad tendency to pick up books without paying attention to whether or not it’s a part of the series or not. I was delighted to discover that I had picked up the first in the Alex Croft series in Grave Witch.

Written in the first-person perspective, Grave Witch introduces us to the main character, Alex Craft, a private investigator, owner of Tongues for the Dead, and consultant for Nekros City Police Department.  Alex can raise shades of the dead to answer questions for her clients, including the police and attorneys.
