I found You'd Look Better as a Ghost at my library's book sale and went into it with no expectations and it was really good. The humour was very dry and British which I enjoy. I was not expecting the deep exploration of grief and caring for a parent with dementia this book went into. The thriller/mystery aspect kept the plot moving along nicely and I'm looking forward to reading another book my Wallace.
