Loose Ends – A Mary O’Reilly Paranormal Mystery (Book One) by Terri Reid

Dying is what changed Mary’s life.
A near-death experience changes former Chicago cop Mary O’Reilly’s life. Now she can now see and communicate with ghosts.
Becoming a private investigator in a small town, Mary’s trying to learn how to incorporate her experience as a cop and new-found talent of seeing and communicating with ghosts into a real job.
Twenty-four years ago, a young woman drowned in the swimming pool of a newly-elected State Senator. It was ruled an accident. But now, as the Senator prepares to move on to higher positions, the ghost of the woman is appearing to the Senator’s wife.
Mary is hired to discover the truth behind the death. She unearths a connection between the murder and the disappearance of five little girls whose cases are still all unsolved. As she digs further, she becomes the next target for the serial killer’s quest to tie up all his loose ends.
