batsinthecastle 's review for:

Platform Seven by Louise Doughty
2.0

I read this book for the Literally Dead Book Club and I went into it thinking that it was a mystery/thriller. It's kinda of not?

We follow Lisa, a ghost who is rambling about her non-life and then starts to remember what happened to her. From there it's very hair-pullingly frustrating and doesn't let up in the "can you hear me screaming at you?!" department.

I liked the paranormal aspect, but was expecting twists or maybe revenge. Overall, I felt very let down. I liked the narrator and I paid for the audiobook (because it wasn't on Hoopla or Libby), which are the only reasons I stayed for it.

le sigh.
