I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Thanks NetGalley!

Unique storyline. The basis is that if you are killed violently, your spirit is stuck until the murderer is brought to justice.

the book was good. characters were interesting.

I enjoyed this book immensely - it is well written, pacy and very entertaining. Nothing like anything I have read before, the premise is that if you die violently, your spirit stays 'in between' worlds until the cosmic scales are righted and your murderer is brought to justice. Painter Mann is there to help as many spirits as possible to achieve this and move on, by discovering who has murdered them. He uses his team of 'Temps', people with terminal illness who can see ghosts, to achieve this.

The characters are entertaining and likeable (apart from the evil ones, of course). When a serial 'killer' appears to be stalking both living and dead, Painter's world changes forever as he battles to overcome events even he cannot believe at first.

A very good book, and I shall be looking out for more in the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dee Dub Publishing for allowing me access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I first was intrigued by this books title and cover. I read the description and wanted to read it. I like the concept of this book and a like a good ghost story but I did not enjoy this book.

3 stars

This book is very unusual novel. That being said, I enjoyed it and yet at the same time I didn't.

Painter Mann is is in a unique position. As the only dead (yes, dead), private investigator (that he knows of anyway), he claims the title of being the “world's best private investigator.” It is his place in life – or rather death – to investigate persons' murders and uncover the perpetrator so that the murdered person may move on.

In this book the reader meets several of Painter's clients. Here the book gets graphic regarding some of the killings. I was a little uncomfortable with these descriptions.

This book is fairly well written and plotted. I say that because while the book is written in linear fashion, I got a little lost and confused at times. The story seemed disjointed in places and I would have to go back and re-read some passages. I really enjoyed Painter's understated and humorous observations. I didn't enjoy his smart-alecky comments/observations about new/prospective clients. So I liked him and I didn't.

I want to thank NetGalley and Dee Dub Publishing/IBPA Members' Titles for forwarding to me a copy of this interesting book for me to read, enjoy and review.

Painter Mann, the best P.I in the InBetween, goes around looking for clients who need his help.
With the help of newly-dead reporter Brenda, he's about to solve the biggest case of her career.
I really enjoyed reading this book, and I could easily relate to Painter's scattered thinking.
I only felt the ending came quite suddenly, although it opens the door for the next story in the series.
Although there were some errors that need correcting, I liked this book and I will certainly be reading the ones that follow.
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC of this book.

Painter Mann, the best (and only) dead private investigator, solves the murders of people that are stuck in the ‘in between’ that exists after life, but before The actual afterlife, so that they can move on.
I liked the concept for this book and enjoyed the moments of dark humour within the story telling. The telling of separate stories, that would later become linked together, was a good idea. But I did feel that at times it was a little too disconnected and I found myself having to read sections again to work out which story the author had jumped back to.
Aside from a few grammatical errors and the use of ‘you’re’ rather than ‘your’ on the page 77% through, I overall enjoyed the book and the characters. The end leaves you primed for the next book and I look forward to reading it. #TheInbetween #NetGalley

The book was fast Paced. It was an adventure that let the reader travel as part of this crazy and enjoyable story.
