Summary

Read by the author, Tracy Whitwell.

The Accidental Medium
is the first audiobook in a hilarious series from Tracy Whitwell featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, is about to become an unwilling crime-solver.


Tanz is a wine-loving, straight-talking, once-successful TV actress from Gateshead, whose career has shrivelled like an antique walnut. She is still grieving for her friend Frank, who died in a car crash three years ago, and she has to find a normal job in London to fund her cocktail habit. When she starts work in a ‘new age’ shop, Tanz suddenly discovers that the voices she’s hearing in her head are real, not the first signs of madness, and that she can give people ‘messages’ from beyond the grave. Alarmed, she confronts her little mam and discovers she is from a long line of psychic mediums.

Despite an exciting new avenue of life opening up to Tanz, darkness isn’t far away and all too soon there’s murder in the air . . .

Continue the Adventures of an Accidental Medium series with Gin Palace.

The comedy aspect

Enjoyed this even if a slow start getting in to the title but I hit a peak and then there was no stopping me from there. Listened in more or less 2 days on and off. Will defo reach out for another book off the author. Enjoyed the narration too. All suited the style of writing.

Great story. Really enjoyed the story but the author must know a lot about mediums.

Suspend your disbelief!

What an easy listen. I loved the characters here. And the author’s successful ability to narrate her story was refreshing. Loved the different accents.

Medium to excellently well done!

Tracy writes a wonderful, comical, moving novel! I love the characters. Added to this she is a brilliant narrator with a gift for accents. Sometimes authors narrating their own work fall short . Tracy is one of the talented narrators. Thanks. I enjoyed your novel very much.

A funny and original take on the world of mystics!

So easy to listen to and the narrator has the most mellifluous voice and wonderful geordie accent! Really enjoyed this tale of mystics, with a love interest and murder mystery thrown in for good measure. Look forward to reading the next one!

Why eye pet!

I loved this book. It’s a refreshing spin on what you think you know about all things spooky. A spunky heroine finding herself in some very odd situations. I wanted to be Tanzes mate and I found myself wanting to drink cocktails with her as she went on her journey. I loved the way Tracy read with gusto and pure delight the whole way through. You can tell she is very proud of her book. I laughed aloud many times and it also brought me to tears in the sad bits. A wonderfully colourful story that I hope gets expanded upon. I’m waiting for the next book - will there be one? I want more! Excellent recommendation!
