I think so highly of Suz's stuff that this was a bit of a disappointment.

The writing and story were, as always, very well done. The characters are interesting and realistic. The conflicts are believable and lead the characters to new actions and perspectives.

But hero sees a ghost, and that ghost actually tells about a third of the story from his first-person POV. And the ghost can "travel" between different places related to his own and the hero's life, except for when he suddenly and unexpectedly gets transported to where a bad guy is doing a "bad thing." Huh? Even if I suspend disbelief enough to believe in a ghost the hero can see and hear, that plot device just doesn't hold water for me.

But even a "bad" book by Suzanne Brockmann is a good read, so I'm not sorry that I bought it.
