The Posthumous Mystery series takes an unusual approach to crime fiction — the narrator is the murder victim, hovering over the crime scene and watching the investigation unfold. Do Not Go Gentle and Do Not Go Alone use this ghost’s-eye perspective to create a different kind of tension, as the dead narrator sees things the detectives miss.

The two books stand apart from C.A. Larmer’s other cozy mysteries through their paranormal element, though the tone remains warm and the focus stays on solving the case rather than horror.
