Rowland Sinclair is like Scooby Doo for adults and that's why I absolutely adore it. Not that it's filled with goofy villains pretending to be ghosts but because you read this series not for the mysteries but the characters. I love the dynamic of Rowland, Milton, Edna and Clyde, and each new installment adds new colourful characters to their story. 

Yes, their characteristics are formulaic and repetitive but that only adds to the quiet, deadpan humour of the series. This book kept surprising me with genuinely funny moments! I love it! 

This series is quickly becoming one of my favourites and I can't wait to read what's next.
