A Novel (Charley Davidson Series) - Eleventh Grave in Moonlight

When I see Darynda Jones' name, I smile or chuckle. Must be because I laugh out loud, chuckle, smile and even sometimes hoot as I read her books. Having just finished her 11th novel in the Charley Davidson series, I remain as entertained as when I read her first novel. How does she keep this series going? Well, how about crazy fresh ideas, events, behavior and zany dialogue. Although the premise(s?) remain the same -- help souls pass into heaven or hell, protect the innocent, be a thorough private investigator, get rid of bad demons and drink coffee -- each book adds more to Charley's plate keeping her and the reader hopping. This time a really bad demon god, a host of angels, a drug lord out to eat Charley, a stalker for Charley's god daughter and an evil church cult all interfere in Charley's wannabe peaceful life. Multi-dimensional characters, spot on Albuquerque, NM setting, fabulous husband/friends/family and a little sizzle with said husband make it all work -- and I never got lost in all the goings on. Amazing.
