Jolie was such a fascinating protagonist. Her reaction to her death gave me a clear understanding of the smart, witty person she had been in life and continued to be in the afterlife, especially once she realized what she was capable of as a ghost. There were a few times when I giggled while reading her internal monologue, and that definitely wasn’t something I was expecting to do given the serious subject matter of this tale!
There were a few things about the murderer that I never quite understood. I briefly wondered if I’d accidentally stumbled into book two or three of a series based on how this character was written, although after researching it online this didn’t actually seem to be the case after all. It would have been helpful to have more details about this particular aspect of the plot so that certain pieces of information would be easier to pick up on.
The dialogue was well done. There isn’t a great deal of room in a story of this length for exposition, so tucking it into ordinary conversations was a smart idea. Doing it this way gave me precisely the right amount of background information about the characters I was most curious about. At a few different points during the dialogue I wanted to know more about what the characters were discussing. They provided enough information about what was currently going on, but they also whetted my appetite for more. While I don’t know if the author is planning to write a sequel, there is certainly plenty of room here to do so.
Ghost of Death is a good choice for anyone who likes the paranormal side of science fiction.
