The dead have a lot to say in this first book in a hilarious crime series...

The Accidental Medium is the first book 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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tracy Whitwell was born, brought up and educated in the north-east of England. She wrote plays and short stories

from an early age, then moved to London where she became a busy actress on stage and screen. After having her son, she wound down the acting to concentrate on writing full time. Many projects followed until she finally found the courage to write the first in her Accidental Medium series, a work of fiction based on a whole heap of crazy truth. Apart from the series, Tracy has written novels in several other genres and also writes mini self-help books as the Sweary Witch.

Tracy is nothing like her lead character Tanz in The Accidental Medium. (This is a lie.)

Scream? Worse…what would you do if you could hear Ghosts talking to you?… deny.. deny..deny? Or maybe start drinking? To find out what this woman does.. read this book it’s fun and games for the most part.

This was much like an intermezzo. I needed to cleanse the palate and read something a bit different for a change. A light romp with a few odd characters was just what I needed. There were moments of humor and moments of foreboding. It was an easy read.

Entertaining psychic phenomena

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024

I was skeptical about a novel being read by the author, but Tracy Whitwell is an actress and a funny one. I enjoyed the plot too. Interesting characters, enough of the supernatural to make it feel original, and a fast-moving plot that kept me engaged. It’s the first in a series, so I look forward to the follow-ups…

A what a brilliant little stunner this one was. I really enjoyed the characters. I liked how the plot developed. Can’t wait to read more!

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023

I recently received book 2 of this series. So I went and grabbed a copy of The Accidental Medium so I could follow the series correctly.

This book took me ages to read and to get into. I think it was just my mindset rather than the book that made me struggle with it. I decided to at least read a chapter a day while I was reading a different book and then once I reached halfway, the story started grabbing me more and more. I am looking forward to reading book 2.

We meet Tanz, a part-time actress (who loves her white wine and russian vodka) needed to get some work in between acting jobs to get some money coming in. She starts working at a till of a Psychic medium store (readings, crystals ect). Sheila, one of the staff there chats to Tanz and they discover that Sheila actually has psychic abilities, and encourages her to start opening herself to her gift. This starts to make life much more interesting for Tanz, but then things take abit of a dark turn when a couple walk into their store with a dark cloud hovering over them. Will Tanz follow her instincts, or will she run in the other direction?

This is a fun mystery read set in the UK, so you have to adapt to the way the "Geordies talk" but its very interesting and light hearted. A fun addition to your halloween tbr.

The Accidental Medium, book 1

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023

Tanz is a wine-loving, straight-talking, once-successful TV actress from Gateshead, whose career has shrivelled like an antique walnut. This is book 1 in a new series. Tanz gets a job in a new age shop and finds out the voices in her head are real and not figments of her imagination. Now the voices are helping her solve cirmes. Cute. Will give book 2, The Gin Palace, a try.

I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down. It was so “normal” but not if you know what I mean.
It made me laugh and it made me sad. It was just brilliant!
On to the next book Gin Palace and can’t wait.
Gorgeous hardback too.

Came across this series of books after seeing the author advertised at a local literature festival. A good introduction to the characters, lots of fun had along the way. Will be bouncing straight into book 2.

A great listen

I heard the author being interviewed on radio Newcastle and I thought the book sounded interesting. She seemed good craic so I thought the book would be a good read. I download the audio book and I wasn’t wrong. Really loved the story. Well told and a few twists and turns here and there. I told my wife about it, she doesn’t have audible so I bought her the book. She’s currently lying on a beach in Majorca reading it and she agrees with me.
Get it bought. You won’t be disappointed.
