A review by octavia_cade
The Heidelberg Ghost by Nickie Cochran

lighthearted fast-paced

1.0

This didn't do it so much for me I'm afraid. I liked the idea and the setting - a Halloween party at Heidelberg Castle brings together a ghost and a romance writer - but there was too much going in here. It felt as if it needed to be stripped back a lot, and have more attention given to the central pair. I've never found love at first sight particularly convincing, so as a reader I need more of a build-up. Furthermore, the 400 year old ghost was just too modern for me - had he been the ghost of a stone mason killed in contemporary times he would have behaved no differently. 

Still, I bought the collected trilogy, I think it is, so the other novels in the series might be more to my taste.
