'GHOST is a delicious, sun-drenched, frightening delight. If you like stories rich in setting and characters rich in personality, you can’t go wrong. Get it!' - Rachel Caine, NYT bestselling author of the Stillhouse Lake series'Genre-crossing, it is part paranormal, part crime thriller, with the emphasis probably more on the latter. Some of the setpiece scenes and supernatural sequences are genuinely atmospheric, and when avoiding digression, Elle is engrossing. The language is good, the book itself extremely well presented...I believe that if you settle down for a long read without any distractions, and you fancy the cross-genre of this book, you’ll find Ghost a rewarding read.'
