Poltergeist, by Kat Richardson
pros: good writer, good series; interesting premise, well handled; same group of characters as before, but with different emphases; noirish detective novel feel; only a hint of romance; really works in the city and its quirks and personality; coffee addiction worked in as small detail, including Starbucks
cons: not a lot gets resolved; love interest was there as a plot device; Harper’s personality and circumstances could have used more details; too long since I read first book in series
misc: Greywalker Book 2; Harper Blaine; Seattle; psychokinesis; research project; fake experiment
