Orla has a gift, an ability to sense things she touches: memories, traumas…murders.

Ashes Beneath Her is the third novel in the stand-alone Northern Michigan Asylum Series.

My thoughts: 
Ashes Beneath Her is book 3 in the Northern Michigan Asylum series.  This one takes place in between books 1 and 2.  But it can be read as a stand alone.  I think I have said this before about this series, I love the balance between mystery and paranormal.  One doesn't outweigh the other and it makes for a pleasant reading experience.

This one did kind of remind me a little of the first book as far as storyline goes. But not enough that this one wasn't a unique story.  The scenes in the asylum were horrendous and hard to listen to. But, the mystery was really good and kept me guessing.  I loved the twists in the end.  I never guessed that is where the story was going.  The characters were well fleshed out.  And, if you have read the first book, there is a familiar face that makes an appearance in this one.  I highly recommend this series.  I look forward to reading more from this author.
