Solving crime isn't only for the living. In turn-of-the century New York City, the police have an off-the-books spiritual go-to when it comes to solving puzzling corporeal crimes . . . Her name is Eve Whitby, gifted medium and spearhead of The Ghost Precinct. When most women are traveling in a gilded society that promises only well-appointed marriage, the confident nineteen-year-old Eve navigates a social circle that carries a different kind of chill. Working with the diligent but skeptical Lieutenant Horowitz, as well as a group of fellow psychics and wayward ghosts, Eve holds her own against detractors and threats to solve New York's most disturbing crimes as only a medium of her ability can. But as accustomed as Eve is to ghastly crimes and all matters of the uncanny, even she is unsettled by her department's latest mystery. Her ghostly conduits are starting to disappear one by one as though snatched away by some evil force determined to upset the balance between two realms, and most important-destroy the Ghost Precinct forever. Now Eve must brave the darkness to find the vanished souls. She has no choice. It's her job to make sure no one is ever left for dead.… (altro)

There's nothing inherently wrong with the story, but it was incredibly boring. The second half was a little better than the first, but the second half also had a million errors. If I had to guess, I'd say they tried to save money by not hiring a copy editor. The book really needs one, though. It was a little like reading a first or second draft--very annoying.
The cast was very diverse, and the large number of characters didn't feel overwhelming. But overall I'm very disappointed both in the book itself and in the fact that I went ahead and bought the whole trilogy at once. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to read the next book. If I do, it will be out of obligation, not pleasure. ( )

Only the ghosts surrounding Eve Whitby could cool her blushing cheeks as the inimitable Theodore Roosevelt, Governor of New York, stood to toast her before a host of lieutenants, detectives and patrolmen, all of whom found her highly dubious.

"Onward to adventure, Maggie," Eve declared. The spirit led on.
