review 1: I haven't read any of the others in this series so I came to it blind. Surprisingly, considering there are multiple and grisly murders, infidelity, domestic violence, and romantic break ups, it is a bit uneventful. Well at least not particularly scary or heart rending. Surprising really! I am not saying I didn't enjoy it but I think I expected a bit more of everything- horror, fright etc. and I guessed the murderer well before the end. It is still an ok read, and whiles away a few hours so enjoy!
review 2: Daniel Kind and his sister are invited to a Halloween party in a remote part of the Lakes District, where the ghost of a murdered woman is said to walk. In fact, two women were murdered there on Halloween night--in the same way--over 90 years apart. In... more both cases, the murderer died immediately after, and no investigation was needed. The murderer also seems apparent when a third woman dies after the party, but since he's still alive, the police must investigate. Hannah Scarlett, head of the Cold Case Review Team, cannot be involved, for a variety of reasons including her complex relationship with Daniel's family, and the cost-cutting initiatives by the Cumbria police, but she is deeply shaken by the crime. If you're just starting this series, start at the beginning--this is more or less intelligible as a start, but if you read the earlier ones, which is no penance, they're all wonderful, this one will be deeper and richer. less
