First I must apologize to Nolan Radke for my original review.  His comment that I must not have read the book was enough to make me go back for a second look.  In actual fact, I DID read the book.  I also learned a good lesson.  If you don't have enough time to write a review immediately upon completion, don't make notes and do more than one review at a time.  Or if you make notes make sure that the abbreviations you use for authors are not so ambiguous as to cause confusion.  Somewhere on Amazon is a glowing review that is undeserved.To this book specifically.  I normally do not like 'ghost' stories.  Riley is the only ghost since Casper that I have truly enjoyed.  The plot and execution is well done and while the ending is fairly predictable, the trip you take to get there is worthwhile.  The side plots served as detours only and never took you far away from the main point of the narrative.Tara and Bowden have depth which make their parts in the action realistic and engaging.  While I mostly enjoy an uplifting, humorous type of read, this was not so Gothic that I felt drug to the depths of depression with sadness.I'm going to look for the 'Man in Gray #2'  Maybe I won't make a fool of myself when I review that one.
