Fans of the TV show Medium should read this book. I believe in the supernatural myself, so this book appealed to me.
After Clara Espy's husband suddenly dies of a heart attack she is forced with having to go back to work. She chooses to buy the local antique shop in town. While fixing up the shop she falls and hits her head, unlocking a gift of psychometry. When she touches certain objects she receive messages from people who have died.
I thought the subject matter was presented well, and the supernatural aspect was very believable. Although listed in the thriller genre it never felt like a thriller to me. I think it fits better in the paranormal category. I would have enjoyed more suspense connected to the supernatural, though.
This was an easy read. I never felt like I was in Clara's shoes. However, I kind of liked the observer aspect as some supernatrual books can make it too real, if you know what I mean. It could have used another round of editing, but overall Ghostly Antiques is a good book for fans of the supernatural.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The story itself was solid and good. While I really enjoy an am fascinated by psychometry what I really had a hard time with was that the characters were flat.
Very two dimentional. You never find yourself with deep feelings or picturing sounds an smells. It's all conversational and a bit dry.
The overall story was interesting an captivating the editing an grammar I would give 9 out of 10.
I'd recommend for someone that wanted a quick read an enjoys paranormal.
Just don't expect to fall in love with the characters.
