The Hidden Dead is the fourth book in a hilarious series featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, has become an unwilling crime-solver. When the dead call, she listens. . . On a night out in a London bar, our accidental medium Tanz meets Einar, a charismatic and sexy Viking travelling for business. He offers Tanz an irresistible proposition: return to Iceland with him for an all-expenses-paid writing retreat and some no-strings-attached fun. Promised a mix of work, play and maybe a bit of romance, Tanz follows her heart (and the voices in her head) off to Iceland on a whim; but when she arrives, she's ditched faster than you can say Blue Lagoon. Heartbroken, abandoned and left to the mercy of the long, haunting nights, Tanz finds herself surrounded not just by the rugged beauty of a land steeped in legend but also the mysteries that lurk in its shadows. With only the dead for guidance, Tanz is thrust into the heart of a chilling cold case, where the echoes of the forgotten and the allure of forbidden magic compel her to listen, to understand and to act.

Being the fourth book in The Accidental Medium series, I feel like most of what I can say about this book would be repetitive and is already included in my reviews of the first three entries. The quality is consistent, with Tanz going on a new adventure on an even larger scale than the previous one. And just like the previous novels, it's funny, heartbreaking, and includes more accidental new spiritual abilities for Tanz to deal with.
In The Hidden Dead, Tanz has a midlife moment and decides to follow a love interest all the way to Iceland, even though she has a really nice boyfriend back home. It left me internally screaming at her for the decisions she was making for the first half of the book, but our girl Tanz goes through some wonderful character development in this one and all and everything is explained and neatly tied up. I loved the mystery at the centre of this novel, more than some of the earlier ones, and the newly introduced characters are just wonderful.
If you liked the first three books, you'll definitely love this one too, and I can't wait to see where Tanz' abilities will take her next!
