Robert and Clothilde have become great friends after thirty years stuck in the graveyard together. After solving the after-death problems for many other ghosts, it's finally their turn for justice!
The author has found a very clever way to circumvent the self-imposed limitations of her version of ghostly mechanics. And such interesting new characters are added in as the official detectives - the new combination of main characters adds real flavour to their interactions.
I loved this story and look forward to more in the series.

This series is really an unexpected delight to the senses. I found it whilst scrolling though scribd and actually registered for a trial month just to be able to read this book.
What I found a littler tiresome
1. The view of Clothilde as a moodly teenager as seen through the main narrator, her ghostly pal, a man, ghost at the age of 35. The descripters constantly used by the author, translated through this male protagonist were harping on at the same old tired stereotypes about teenagers and in particular, teenage girls..
What I loved:
1. The story set in France, in Toulouse - refreshing place for a mystery.
2. The fleshing out of the "living characters" as seen through their ability to sense the other world...specifically the ghostly realm. I noted that people who were sensitive were not good or bad, just highly attuned but none more so than Emeline.
3. I enjoyed the build up to the final conflict from car tailing right though to the gunshot. Something amazing happens close to the end - read it to enjoy this addition to ghost lore.
I am onboard for the next journey and I might even take a gander at all the short stories that came before the books.

Loved it
Absolutely loved this book and the characters. This plot is really unique, in that they are ghost and follow the detective around. Extremely enjoyable, mystery with twists and turns. That make you want to keep reading.
