Owner and lead investigator of Shadows Inquiries, Sylvie returns in her second urban fantasy mystery (Sins & Shadows, 2009), this time set on her home turf in Miami’s South Beach. Looking for an easy case after her last investigation turned deadly, Sylvie takes on a series of local burglaries. It seems like a perfect job for a PI who specializes in supernatural work, but soon she realizes that the case is much more complex and dangerous than she envisioned. Meanwhile, she’s agreed to let a Chicago cop hang around with her because he’s possessed by a ghost that’s a little too familiar to Sylvie. The mix of supernatural elements and a real-world setting—Sylvie attempts to keep the magical out of sight of regular people—makes this a good recommendation for fans of Kat Richardson’s Greywalker series (Vanished, 2009) or Seanan Maguire’s new October Daye series (A Local Habitation, 2010). While new readers will be able to follow most of the plot, this series is best read in order. --Jessica Moyer
