Dante has come to the small coastal town of Te Kohe, New Zealand, for a fresh start in life.

But he doesn't want to open a B&B, or save a charming bookshop, or start a romance with a single mother in need of rescuing.

He just wants to forget about his past career (which involved a lot of dead bodies) and have everyone leave him the heck alone. Unfortunately for Dante, life has other plans...

I enjoyed this book, not least for the twist that it was set in New Zealand. That’s a first for me I think. Great narration and a steady plot that kept me going. I’ve already purchased the second and hope it is as good.

That was an enjoyable listen

Such a great concept. The twisty, windy, ghostly goings on within this novel are amazing. The three , main protagonists were expertly conceived by the author. I highly recommend this novel.
