I did enjoy Island Ghosts. It was an intriguing introduction to the character of Will Castleton, and served its purpose of leaving me wanting to know more about the psychic US Marshall and his adventures. I think the brevity of the story worked well - it was long enough to capture my interest but not so long that it got bogged down with too much background information.There was a descriptive passage about the weather that struck me as a bit too fulsome; I would have liked more about Will, less about the clouds.  Also, some of the dialogue between Will and Lehman felt unnatural.That said, I'll be looking to read more by David Bain.
