RUBY DOYLE GAAAAHH
I went into this book thinking "sherlock holmes but woman" and since this book is on all thebliterary snob lists I adore, all the fantastical elements took me by surprise. The humor caught me off guard too--nearly every side character is humor relief. Also, Bridie is a WAY cooler character than Sherlock. And Ruby Doyle is the steamiest ghost I've ever heard of. Really wonderful characters all around.
