The Restorer by Amanda Stevens

Supernaturally creepy graveyards, traditional Southern charm


The Restorer
 by Amanda Stevens
Mira
Amelia Gray is a cemetery restorer who becomes a consultant for the police force (in particular the brooding, haunted detective Devlin) when a murder is discovered in the graveyard she’s currently working in. Amelia is drawn to Devlin even though she knows he’s dangerous for her, and she tries to discover his secrets even as she desperately attempts to keep her own lifelong secrets (and herself) safe. I really enjoyed this supernatural mystery. The writing was high quality and pulls the reader in. The author does a good job illuminating the details and importance of family, even family burial grounds, in the South, and balancing the creepiness of ghosts with the mystery and suspense.
