The Case of the Green-Dressed Ghost by Lucy Banks
3.0
The narrator of the book is kind of a wet blanket who eventually blossoms a bit, and the background -- that there are actual spirits and spirit-hunters, is nothing new in the paranormal world. The author hasn't done much in the way of real world-building, though the idea of spirit doors did seem new to me.
According to the book itself, spirits are different from ghosts -- ghosts are dead humans, while spirits are something else entirely. So the title is a bit of a misnomer since the woman in the green dress is a spirit rather than a ghost. Beyond Dr. Ribero and Miss Wellbeloved, the supporting characters are flat. Though I kept reading, that kind of carelessness keeps this from getting a higher rating.
