This novel is not going to win the Booker Prize but it sure is fun. Readable, funny, entertaining and not to be taken too seriously. The characters are delightful, Sophie, the first Erwin narrator, has a delightful voice, and her debonair English ghost is as solid as she is. These are nice people. They can see ghosts. Thus problems arise that we might encounter in urban fantasy, which is often darker. This is more The Ghost and Mrs Muir than True Blood. It is well written and well edited. readers offended by bad syntax, spelling mistakes and egregious misuse of language can safely tread here. There is delightful romance but it is not a bodice ripper. As you can tell, I loved it.
