Ghost Month by Simon Wroe

 Ghost Month by Simon Wroe

I really liked the premise of this book. I did find it a little slow to start but once it did I enjoyed it.  It is a thought provoking concept and Wroe writes with skill and the writing flows nicely. The stories inside the book are all linked and there's a good cast of characters. As it deals with grief it could be little heavy going for some but I enjoyed it. Thank you to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this ARC.
