The Case of the Green-Dressed Ghost by Lucy Banks
4.0
Horror and the Paranormal have always been pretty high on my list of interests although this does not mean I believe ( I want to believe, Mulder ). The case of the green dressed ghost fit in perfectly!
The case of the Green Dressed Ghost is Lucy Banks’ first novel and the start of the Doctor Ribero’s agency of the paranormal series. I was looking forward A LOT to reading this book and was extremely exciting when I heard the soft “thump” of the book falling through my mailbox. I finished it in three days and could not stop reading! Every commute, during my lunch, when I woke up or even when I was batteling sleep just before I turned off the light. This book – although I have some remarks, is great light reading. I can totally see myself reading this on holiday.
Kester is a 22 old nerd. There is no other way of describing him. He has a bit more volume around the waist, wears glasses and – lets be honest, is a bit of a pussy. When his mother dies, he sets out to find the mysterious Doctor Ribero. She had whispered his name and pressured him to find the man just before she died. Kester makes the trip from Camebridge to Exeter and finds out his life was one big lie. His father – who he did not kow he excisted, runs a paranormal agency out of a run down old building in the centre of Exeter.
Kester, an Oxbridge himself, does not think much of all the paranormal humble jumble and after his very first ghost observation he runs back to Camebridge with his tail between his legs. I cannot say much more because we would be threading into the dangerous world of spoilers.
Like I mentioned earlier : I do have some remarks about this book. You can read the complete review on my website : www.liezeneven.com
