The Book of Souls by James Oswald
3.0
Meh, interesting ideas let down by supernatural guff
It's frustrating, Oswald is a decent writer, he creates good characters and plausible dialogue but puts them in a world where (spoilers) a book is the villain and there's a ghost. The suspension of disbelief needed for almost any fiction novel just shatters and you realise it's all a bit silly.
Keep inspector McLean, bin the ghosts and ghouls.
