Bad Spirits is actually five short stories compiled into one novella which is a good thing - I don't think anything but the first episode can stand by itself, and combining all five of them into one edition makes for one enjoyable read.Without having a spoiler, I will say the author does a great job of getting you into the head of the main character and the trials and trouble she continually gets into while trying to escape Mexico.  The dialogue is appropriate (vs. going on for word count sake) and the author really does a good job of describing the environment so that when the character feels hot and sweaty, scared, etc. you feel as if you are part of the action.  As a stereotypical guy, I usually don't enjoy, or read much of, fiction that has a female as the main character - mainly because I can't relate to them.  However, D.V. Berkom is one good storyteller and I am looking forward to reading the continuing saga of Kate Jones.I picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion vs. its normal 99 cent price - you will receive a heck of a lot more value than 99 cents, so If you like a good mystery / thriller I encourage you to try this one out today as I don't believe you will be disappointed.
