Most of the stories in this book are straightforward and well-done ghost stories -- "The Ghost" is obvious but amusing, "Shadow Brother" and "For Love of Him" are creepy as advertised, and "October Chill" and "Being Dead" are touchingly sad. "Dancing with Majorie's Ghost" is silly, and not as interesting...

This book sounded exciting and different, and I'd been wanting to read it for a few months. When I finally found it in my hands, I am sad to say it was nothing but a disappointment.
The logical place to start is probably the writing style. It was patronising and unengaging, almost an insult to the reader....

*SPOILERS*
If you look at the book from a shallow angle, it's good. It gave me the chills when I was reading it late at night and it got me looking over my shoulder, so I guess that's good. BUT, there are so many plot holes it's painful.

I remember loving Anne Cassidy books when I was a young teen. I think reading Looking for JJ was what broke me into the crime genre but without it being too scary yet. And I absolutely loved it.

I've read this one before but I've forgotten most of it now. Reading it again did bring back bits and pieces...

“If you wish to upset the law that all crows are black, you mustn’t seek to show that no crows are; it is enough if you prove one single crow to be white.”
