My journey with new author Tom Conrad has been, well, Rich. He has taken me through the betrayal of love, zombies , and finally onto a ghostly tale of one Midnight Merlot. Set in London a young Midnight Merlot has been taken from the life he once knew by way of a slippery back alley banana. Shocked by his ghostly demeanor, Midnight is unable to grasp his untimely death. Upon his waking death Midnight is met, by happenstance of one Hugo Hattersby who must unfortunately inform Midnight of how he has died. But is it truly correct?Throughout the novel we get to experience the life and afterlife of Midnight and the many people who knew him. We are immersed in this world where questions of life after death are viewed differently once death takes you. When a "humanist" funeral is viewed from the eyes of the deceased and why the "loves " of his life don't show. That's when the journey begins.I was utterly drawn into Midnight's, death. I laughed out loud from the quirky humor, was engaged and stunned by some of the sexual situations, and gasping while cursing out loud from shock by the end of the book.Rich Pickings for Ravens is an absolute worth while read and great start to a trilogy. You will not be disappointed. I eagerly await book 2 and other works he sets forth.
