A Killer Welcome - Lister, Dionne

. .

Résumé :
A new cozy mystery series from the USA Today bestselling author of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau series. Avery Winters was overjoyed to be brought back to life... unfortunately, the dead were waiting for her. Aussie journalist Avery Winters was content-she had a caring boyfriend, great job, and supportive... okay, so her parents weren't actually supportive, but she'd accepted she could never be the son they'd wanted seeing as how she was born a girl. Avoiding them seemed to work well, and, she reasoned, no one's life was perfect. And that was fine, except whilst covering a news story in a storm, Avery's cosy life disappeared in a flash. Lightning struck, stopping her heart and blowing her favourite black boots to smithereens. It was pure luck that an off-duty nurse was walking nearby. When Avery came to in the ambulance en route to hospital, she'd thought the worst was over. She was wrong. Her lightning-induced hallucinations-there was no way they were ghosts-were impossible to hide. Her boyfriend soon left, and her boss suggested she take extended leave. Unable to cover her rent, she moved back in with her parents. And that's when the fun really began. Unable to cope with their insistence she was crazy, and desperate for an escape, she responded to a journalist-wanted ad... in the UK, because getting mega far away from her parents could only be a good thing. Armed with a new fear of storms, companions others couldn't see, and the hope that leaving the stress behind would improve her mental state, she boarded a plane for London. What she didn't count on was not being able to leave her ghosts behind... literally. Oh, and that the quaint English village she'd be living in had more skeletons in its closet than the Natural History Museum. When she stumbles upon a dead body in her rented apartment on her first day, she's tempted to get back on the plane. But whilst it's not a good omen, returning to her parents would be worse, so she decides to stay. Only, she's not sure if it's the best decision she's ever made, or the worst. She's about to find out....
