After Glow by Jayne Castle
4.0
This is part of Jayne Castle aka Jayne Ann Krentz's Ghost Hunter series, chronologically the third in the series but as a full novel the second in the series.
This tells the continuing story of Lydia Smith, she's working for a tacky third-rate museum, Shrimpton's House of Ancient Horrors, taking on the occasional job to try to reclaim her career. Between that, dating one of the most powerful and dangerous men in the town and dead bodies turning up she has a handful of trouble.
Lydia is an interesting character but sometimes it wasn't really clear where she was coming from. She really has some problems fitting into her world and it really didn't come across as sufficiently different to appease the SF fan in me.
One of my favourite characters is Fuzz the dust bunny, very very funny.
Enjoyable, light but nothing terribly amazing. You also really need to have read the prequel to make this work for you.
