The Dirt on Ninth Grave

The Dirt on Ninth Grave by Darynda Jones  352 pp.

I picked up the audio version of this not realizing it was the ninth book in a series. The main character, Charley Davidson, sees dead people, animals, and other spiritual entities and can interact with them. She is living in the small town of Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. (yes, that one) as Jane Doe because she is suffering from an acute case of amnesia. She has no clue about her former life or even what her real name is. All she knows is that she is seeing ghosts everywhere and that a customer at the diner where she is working has all the women, her included, in an extreme state of lust. She doesn't understand or quite know how to handle her unusual abilities and it leads her into situations that soon become dangerous on all plains of existence. When a town shop owner is endangered, "Janey" feels compelled to save him and his family, putting her life in danger. I liked this book with the exception of the frequent use of popular slang which will date it quickly.
