Book Review:
What a whopper of a breezy engaging book this turned out to be - just what I would recommend. Bovee's writing is refreshingly good, and reminds one of PG Wodehouse style wry humour wherever the plot turns light and funny. With a complex plot forming a crux - given that Pryce not just has to deal with loss and trauma, but she also needs to learn to survive in an utterly new place that she has been forced to go to, learn to adapt to its dingy interiors, and above all, convince the community that she is not a murderer - all with just an old ghost for help. Cordelia and little Bijou add a lovely touch to the story. Bovee has spent quite some thought on the names of characters, and I loved every one of them.
I had a great time reading this book, and I cannot wait for the next one in the series.
My thanks to Bovee, the publishers Bosque Publishing, and Lauren of iRead BT, for gifting me with a copy of this book.
