I absolutely loved this truly suspenseful thriller by Jules MacLeod, I was completely absorbed by the story, and I couldn't help but laugh at some of the antics of Bobby.
I hated having to put this book down when I had to, I needed to to know how this ended.

This was an enjoyable, quirky detective mystery with a paranormal aspect. I loved the dynamic between Josh and Bobby, and enjoyed their banter. My favourite parts were when the reader gets to see what Bobby can find out without his partner there. These moments made the storyline extra interesting.

I saw a review which mentioned an old show, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) and that made me grab a copy. So if you've ever seen this show and enjoyed it, you'll love this one!
