Review: Just okay

The premise was enticing -- a man whose home is a waystation for ghosts on their way to the great hereafter, whose isolated life is ripped open by a ghostbusting team hired by his relatives in order to prove that he's insane so they can take over the estate. Unfortunately, the writing style left me bemused rather than intrigued and excited. There was a distance from the characters that left me cold and uninterested in reading further, due in part to the sketchiness of their lives prior to meeting. This cursory backstory was especially problematic in terms of the ostensible main character -- who not only saw and interacted with ghosts, but who was also some kind of artist. I never "got" him.I would not recommend buying this book at $5.68. Not worth the price. If you are interested in stories about seeing ghosts, I'd recommend Jordan Castillo Price's Psycop series instead.
