A review by auroranoir
Ghost Detective by Scott William Carter
3.0
It was an interesting story. I liked the premise. I like that the dead are organised into their own agencies etc. I like that they can right some of the wrongs that the living wouldn't be able to. It's a nice, short read.
I did, however, think that the protagonist spent way too much time describing the appearance and clothing of the female characters. I mean, I get a male protagonist noticing women, I really do.....but does he have to describe her figure and her clothing etc. almost every time he sees Karen? We get it; she's a bombshell...no need to go that far.
Then the part about all these women just throwing themselves at him. Really? One main female was his wife....three out of the other four relevant female characters aside from her all propositioned him in some way. It was just irritating to read four out of five female characters in this book who apparently would dearly like to sleep with Myron. Though he so heroically resists the urge to give in which negatively affects their self-esteem of course... It just seems like wish fulfillment or some sort of fantasy. Why was it necessary to have almost all the relevant female characters being into him?
Then there were some grammatical errors and continuity errors. I noticed a scene where Aleasha was talking but one sentence had it as Billie...who wasn't even a part of that scene. Maybe it was because the kindle edition had typos?
Anyway all in all it was an enjoyable, casual read.
