Darynda Jones writes paranormal romance and urban fantasy with comic mystery plots, best known for the Charley Davidson series. First Grave on the Right introduces Charley, a private investigator who is also the Grim Reaper and can see and communicate with the dead. Murder cases, family complications and her relationship with the supernatural Reyes Farrow continue across the series, mixing detective work with a steadily expanding mythology. Jones has also written contemporary and supernatural romance outside Charley's world. Her books are fast, joke-heavy and strongly voice-driven, with banter and romantic tension sharing space with crime investigation. They fit urban fantasy, paranormal romance and supernatural mystery, particularly for readers who want a lighter, more irreverent approach than darker occult series. Read more Less
