The Ghost Detectives

By: Charles Townsend

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Can a ghost solve his own murder? Charlie is dead, but he doesn't understand what's happened. He thinks he may have been murdered. Together with another ghost, Lizzie, they set out to investigate his death. As ghosts there are only two things that they can do that can affect alive people. They can change the temperature, and they can blow gusts of cold wind. But being ghosts, they are able to go where they want without search warrants and listen in to conversations without people knowing that they are there. Using just these, will they be able to find out what really happened, and if they do, will they be able to guide the police to the murderer? Things are complicated by an evil ghost that seems to be also interested in Charlie's death.

Dead but quite sure he was murdered

Good read! Occasionally funny moments. I enjoyed the book: the friendship and co-operation between the ghosts. It was nice to have an imaginative look at what a ghost’s afterlife is like. The suspense was maintained till the end; however, more should have been written on the motive behind the killings. The narration was good, but I was sometimes confused about which character was speaking at times.

Ghostly mystery

This is a light mystery with easy to figure out twists. I found the dialogue to be a bit repetitive, especially between the ghost characters. The virtual narration is terrible. I probably would have enjoyed the book more if I had read a physical copy versus the audible version.
