This was a book that I was not sure exactly what it was in terms of genre when I started, after a few chapters I was sure it was a ghost story, but it wasn't.  Then I was sure it was just a murder mystery, but it wasn't.This story wanders off into areas seldom tread, life after death, with some science and some faith.  The fact that it touches the edges of Judeo-Christian beliefs makes it a bit more familiar to the average American but the story is really not about any religion since it is actually a paranormal urban fantasy at it's heart.The thing here is that the story keeps trying to tug at your emotional strings and in most cases does it quite well but with the mixture of mystery, science, magic and faith it presents a story that really does not sit securely in any genre.Henry is missing, nobody know what happened to him and the truth when it finally is revealed is a bit shocking but I was a bit disappointed in the author not taking advantage of trying to use the detective's sorrow to at least give the reader a bit of happiness by hooking him up with the scientist but I always think a touch of romance always helps a book but that was not the purpose of this book.This is a book savored and not rushed, it takes on the feel of a drama for a lot of the book as far as the relationship of Antonia and Adam and so all I can say after finishing it is I am glad I read it, it was thought provoking and entertaining which is what I want out of my books.
