This book wasn’t written to be on a recommended reader list of someone who enjoys high literature.It’s throughly low brow in it’s own way, but that is what makes it so good. Everything he writes is so over the top, but he does it with real emotion, and a genuine flash of amazement.For those who have read the previous book in this series, our intrepid Ghost Finders are called to deal with a sticky situation and the usual hyjinx that Simon Green always brings to his books ensures.Let me be clear.This is a book for someone who wants to read a great story, and not looking to read something that will alter the very landscape of their existence. For me though, this book was a welcome addition to my library.

Green’s stuff. The ghost hunters go into an office building and basically go floor by floor fighting a new bad guy on each floor. Halfway through the book I came to the realization it’s like the old monster of the week, except it’s each chapter is another level another brand of monster/challenge. The confrontation that builds throughout the book ends up being rather anti-climatic, and sadly predictable.
