review 1: "An Intense Preview of A Great Story"This is a very short thriller that gives you a good sample of Author David Bain's fine writing and storytelling. Receiving a call from friend, Mazie, Will Castleton explains to her that he's taking a break to relax in the Sunshine State, specifically at Gamer's Key in Florida. She questions his sanity wondering why he would be back on the island that has many ghosts he may have to face. Will is a U.S. Marshal, and he also tends to be psychic. Coming back from the 7-11 store with a case of Corona Beer, he recognizes a car and driver following him, Shane Lehman, a reporter for the Biscayne Beacon. Seeing Lehman brings back the memories of Will trying to save from drowning his best friend, Brad, seven years ago. Brad's ghost is still out t... moreo sea, calling to him. This is an intriguing, well written story of the ghosts who haunt Will Castleton. I loved it, and I'll be moving on to the full length novel, Death Sight," another Will Castleton mystery.
review 2: Will Castleton is US Marshall with psychic abilities, and David Bain is the community college English professor who created him. Both seem like interesting characters; Castleton with his sometimes-too-late “visions” of crime victims, and Bain with his ability to carve out a niche for himself in the self-pubbed crime fiction genre. Island Ghosts is a fast, fun Castleton adventure, and certainly a cut above the usual independent author offerings, and an excellent read for a freebie. Island Ghosts doesn’t have the most original characters or concepts, (there’s a ’80s television crime drama vibe running through this story that’s both cheesy and endearing) and the prose gets a bit purple at times, but Bain’s hardboiled style makes it work. less
