I loved this one -- captured me immediately from the start.  Hope the rest of the series lives up to the promise of this first novel.

I liked this one but it probably would have worked better in print than as an audiobook.  I suspect images and page layout/font in the book would have added something.

Also interesting how this book and the one I just posted (Ghost that Ate Us) were both just released but have a similar narrative.  SPOILERS -- the book is what is propagating the ghost.

I wantes to like this one more than I did.  I enjoy this type of horror and applaud the attempt, but it didn't quite land with me.

Latest Grey Man novel, entertaining as ever.  Also interesting how much of this one too place in DC and named places we dine at or visit regularly, and also the Northern Ireland connection since we were just there over New Year's.

Pretty enjoyable history of Caesar.  Narrated by someone in usually love (Frederick Davidson/Davis Case) but he didn't shine here.  I normally read fiction and Davidson/Case is fantastic narrating those books (Flashman series is a great example), but here he lacked all personality.
