Praise for
FOURTH GRAVE BENEATH MY FEET
“The fourth entry in Darynda Joness wildly popular Charley Davidson series is every bit as solidly successful as the first. In fact, this might be the best yet. Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet continues to blend paranormal, romance, and mystery better than any other contemporary work out there…At its heart, Charley is still perfectly Charley, well-adjusted PI/grim reaper, and one of the elements that works so well is that right strike of outrageous humor one moment and teeth-chattering suspense the next.”—Heroes and Heartbreakers
