Dead & Buried

Dead & Buried is the first book in the Partners in Crime supernatural mystery series by T.K. Eldridge, and it wastes no time pulling readers into its gripping and inventive premise. Detective Jameson Kennedy arrives at a murder scene only to discover that the victim is his own partner and closest friend, Detective Michael Donovan. It is already the worst moment of his career, and then it gets stranger: Mike's ghost shows up, refusing to leave until his murder is solved.

The story follows Kennedy as he navigates a treacherous investigation full of twists and suspects, all while secretly consulting a ghost that only he can see or hear. The central conflict is as much about keeping his sanity and his badge as it is about catching a killer, since admitting he is taking tips from a dead man would end his career on the spot. T.K. Eldridge, a former US government intelligence professional, brings authenticity and sharp dialogue to every scene, making the impossible feel entirely believable.

What gives Dead and Buried its special charm is the dynamic between the two leads. Kennedy and Donovan's partnership does not end with death; it deepens, grows funnier, and at times becomes surprisingly moving. Their banter is quick and realistic, and their unbreakable bond gives the supernatural elements genuine emotional weight rather than gimmickry.

Fans of paranormal mystery, supernatural thrillers, and ghost detective fiction will find Dead and Buried an addictive and refreshingly original read. It is an action-packed page-turner filled with humor, heart, and enough twists to keep readers guessing until the very last revelation. Once you meet Kennedy and Donovan, you will not want their partnership to end.
