Ghost Month by Ed Lin

I loathed this book. I found the solution to the mystery to be ridiculous and far-fetched. The MC, who is sadly also the narrator, had an obsession with the band, Joy Division, and he went on about the band incessantly. His attitude towards “the woman he was going to marry”, who he hadn’t seen in years, who is also the murder victim, was bizarre and his attitude towards other women was equally strange. Very little of the MC’s thoughts or actions moved the (weak) plot forward at all. There were too many irrelevant tangents and 3/4 of the books could have been cut, leaving a much shorter, but far better, more cohesive narrative.
