Publisher's Summary:
Maddie Graves is returning home, and it's under unfortunate circumstances. Following her mother Olivia's death, someone has to take care of Maddie's cantankerous grandmother Maude, and the family tree is almost limbless now.
It's not easy for Maddie to return to small-town life in Blackstone Bay, mostly because the boy she left behind is still there - and she's drawn to him the second she sees him again.
Nick Winters has always been in love with Maddie. At a certain point, he decided there was nothing he could do but let her go. When she returns to town after a 10-year absence, his world is upended.
Maddie's reintegration isn't smooth, and when she discovers a dead body, all eyes are on her. Since Nick is a local police detective, he finds their lives intersecting with alarming frequency. He knows she's hiding something, and he's determined to find out what it is.
Maddie and Nick are drawn together, but they have a few obstacles in their way - including a lifelong secret she's kept buried: She can see and talk to ghosts. When Maddie's life is in danger, though, Nick can't turn away.
This duo is on a collision course with the truth, and death is stalking them every step of the way. Will they get a chance to embrace destiny, or were they doomed before they ever got a chance to begin?

The Narrator
It sounds like she's reading in a loud (and slow) whisper. It's one of those voices that I found distracting enough to repeatedly lose the thread of the story progression
I loves this book

I loved how the narrator brought the characters together.
What other book might you compare Grave Homecoming to and why?
N/a
What about Laura Jenningss performance did you like?
She was able to create different sounds/accent when speaking for each character which leads the listener to believe there are different persons reading. Her voice is smooth and easy to listen to.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No
Any additional comments?

Distractingly narrated
This book started out so so so slow. I almost couldn't keep myself from being distracted by the narrator. I don't know if it was her or the bland plot or the the combination, but this book was almost a waste of my time.

Characters I couldnt like ruined it for me.
Real rating 2.5*
SERIES INFO: This is Book #1 of 5 (so far) in the Maddie Graves Mystery Series. Book #6 is scheduled to be released on Feb 6th. Only the first 2 are available so far on audio.
MADDIE - I have a personal dislike for characters who ignore it when EVERYONE tells them theyre attractive. Theres a difference between She dont know shes beautiful and willful stupidity.
LUKE - there is just no excuse for his not sitting his girlfriend down and kindly letting her know it was over.
