Publisher's Summary:
Medical-school-dropout police detective Richelle Dadd is...well, dead.
But that won't stop her from trying to hold on to her house in a divorce battle with a bitter husband. Or keep her from digging into her own murder, to discover who put the bullet into her heart. Or from coming to terms with her Gypsy heritage. And it certainly won't stand in the way of finding out the reason she's been reanimated as a zombie assassin, no longer in control of her life.
Richelle will face off against Romani shamans, double-crossing ghosts, a partner she can't trust, and her own undead nature in a journey into the depths of the occult world and out the other side without losing her sense of humor - or humanity - along the way.
It's a good thing her deductive skills - and her aim - are still up to par.

Dead detective
The Dead Detective is a decent first book in a series. The premise of a zombie detective was unique and interesting. The story has a decent plot, storyline, plot, and character development. The narrator performed well by providing each character with their own unique voice.
Great!!
Keep them coming. I enjoy all of Rain's books. My favorite writer and I am his number 1# fan!!!!
Zombie romance?? Not for me, thanks.
This is the review I wish I would've read before selecting this title:
THIS IS A ZOMBIE ROMANCE NOVEL!!
Romance!
Not just a little romance, mind you. I made it halfway through before giving up, and to that point the storyline seems to be a mix of 70% romance with a touch of murder/mystery and zombies thrown into the mix. If you aren't a fan of romance novels, you WILL (most likely) NOT enjoy this book!
To be fair to the author, I gave the book four stars because I did not want to ruin the ratings based on my genre bias. Based solely on my personal opinion, I would've felt charitable giving it two stars overall (the performance was solid), but who am I to judge a genre I know nothing about?
It's really a shame, too, because the premise of a zombie detective was compelling.
Best Female Reader So Far
I enjoyed listening as much as reading, which is due to the narrator. The voice and expressions often distract me from following the story, but Kadusahin makes this audible version exceptional. Fun and easy listening!
Hilarious, Original and Well Told!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Dead Detective to be better than the print version?
I didn't read the print version and I'm sure it's good. I will say the narrator for this was amazing!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dead Detective?
Oh no! It might be a spoiler! But, when she realized she was being "used" as a weapon.
Have you listened to any of Ilyana Kadushins other performances before? How does this one compare?
I had not. But, she has such a great reading voice and performance. Some people just read, but this put you into the story.
If you could take any character from The Dead Detective out to dinner, who would it be and why?
The main character of course! Because she's interesting. And because she's always hungry. lol
Any additional comments?
I got this because it was on sale and the description sounded good. But, I've had a run of bad experiences with unknown authors lately and almost didn't listen to it. But, I am so thrilled that I tried it.
