A young man working in his father's mortuary business is able to talk to the bodies.
This short book is a case of great idea but not so great execution.
On a positive note it is short and original but sadly is is just too silly and over the top. Reads like something a 12 year old schoolboy would come up with.
1/5
Location - Los Angeles
An LAPD detective is charged with investigating a 15 year old murder.
I don't really do police crime novels. They are not my kind of thing but this was a change and sometimes you need a change. It was strange because I haven't read any other books by the same author featuring this detective and I think this is something like book 17. But it didn't really matter, it was written in a way that was accessible for new readers. Although I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the other books.
As for the book itself it was quite complex and there were more suspects than soft Mick. It kept my interest right to the end but the ending was a bit of a let down as I was hoping for a surprise or a twist but it never came. Without spoiling the ending, the ending wasn't a surprise whatsoever. Quite the opposite and there were too many loose ends to feel vindicated for reading the previous 505 pages.
It's a slow one that kept my interest just about but not the most exciting and satisfying ending.
3/5
