How dare I write yet another review of Ghostwritten, when most of my GR friends have read, loved, and written fantastic reviews on this book already? I have LIKED Kris’s, S.Penkevich’s and Ian Graye’s.So, I will refer my reader to those reviews and here I will only record some loose thoughts.As wit...

This is Mitchell’s debut novel, and was published in 1999. It can quite easily be seen as an early ve...
This has sucked me in straight away.
