I'm not sure how to express my opinion about this book. Even though I read the short synopsis of it on Amazon before I added it to my library, it still was not what I expected. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Some people might take issue with that statement and say the subject matter was violent, and it's true; and some would call it a rather sappy ending, and in a way that's true, too. But the fact is, I'm just a chick at heart (albeit an old one) and I love happy endings.I must admit the book is better written than some of the free books I have gotten from Amazon. There were a couple of grammatical errors that caught my attention, but no where near enough to interfere with my reading. The story flows along well and there are some very interesting developments. And I just realized that even though it is a murder story (can't say it's a mystery because everything is known from the beginning) it was done without gore, gratuitous sex, or profanity every other word.I must admit, this is not my typical book, I'm more of a courtroom, police procedural kind of girl (?), but a very pleasant surprise. Who would expect to find references to Heaven in a ghost story/murder myster? Well, they're here and in my humble opinion, well done. I'm glad I didn't miss this one. It's really sad when you are so hooked by a book, that you find yourself reading on the way to the bathroom because you don't want to put it down! A definite winner!!! Thank you, "a story written by a girl" whoever you are. You made my night!
