Series: A Sophie Katz Murder Mystery (#4)
I was worried with the whole ghost thing, but it turned out just fine. Anatoly sure puts up with a whole lot from her. And some of their dialogue was a bit on the romance-novel side. I don't appreciate that in a smart, mystery novel like this. They can have sex and all, but why must it be so unreali...
Probably my least favorite Sophie Katz mystery. It get very far fetched. Still quite funny though. There wasn't a lead in to another novel at the end which I found interesting. I wonder if Kyra is planning to write more in the series or not.
