Synopsis: Once an exciting up-and-coming star of the burgeoning paranormal investigation TV genre, now Prudence Osgood finds herself as a barely functioning alcoholic living in daily pain, both physical, from a car accident nearly twenty years ago, and emotional, from the loss of Audrey Frost, her partner and best friend, over an ill-advised hoax. When a random and cryptic email shows up in her inbox, she must begin an investigation that is far more sinister than it initially seems, and far more connected to the last two decades of her own life than she could ever imagine.

Osgood As Gone cuts a trail from a lonely rest stop papered in missing posters, to a notebook full of symbols and sigils, to a band that could outsell The Beatles that vanished almost overnight. Can our intrepid hero Osgood follow the breadcrumbs, avoid texts from her one-night-stand Nora, make amends for the past, and still have a future? Find out in Osgood As Gone.

Review: The plot of this book sounds so interesting and it is for the most part! It’s like an adult version of Scooby Doo. It’s unique and there’s LGBT representation in this book. The book also has good pacing and it covers some topics that I don’t normally read in mysteries.

However, there was a problem with repetition. The writing was really confusing and the constant repeating was very stressing. It felt like the author wanted to include a lot of things in this book and while they did it felt like it was too much for one book.

Verdict: Good book for the most part, but a lot to weed through.
