One day I’ll learn not to be put off books about ghosts… I don’t like ghost stories but mysteries including ghosts are rarely actual ghost stories. I’ve liked pretty much everything Andrew Taylor has ever written and have searched out much of his back catalogue. In short I liked this too but not as much as other things. I did feel the book could have done with one of those “casts of characters” lists in addition to the map in the front of the book as I kept losing track of who was who.
