What a fun excursion into the adventures of three intrepid ghost hunters! Anna, Karen and Linda are early middle agers who take up ghost hunting in order to stave off boredom, disappointment and the tortures of the dating scene. They are each witty, resilient and strong in their own unique (and quite different) ways. Linda was my personal favorite. She came out with some cracking one liners that kept me laughing. Plus, I could completely relate to her smart aleck skepticism. The ladies visit some fabulous historical landmarks that are vividly described, encounter a host of smarmy characters (as well as a few wonderful ones), and generally take the reader on an emotional joy ride. I've never wanted to spend an evening skulking around a grave yard or traipsing through crypts, but I sure do now.Jay's writing style is light and humorous. The book flows pleasantly along until you find yourself suddenly, and disappointingly, at the end. I definitely recommend reading it and think it would make a great beach read.
