The silly complications in this book compliment the action sequences in a tongue-in-cheek adventure which were, to me, a welcome change of pace. The situations are implausible even if you do believe in ghosts (which I do when I am reading about them) but I rather enjoy silly. I'd get tired of this series pretty quickly if I read the books back to back, but I never do. The next book I am reading is Mary Higgins Clark. I read a fantasy followed by a realistic novel over and over with some non-fiction and biography thrown in probably seemingly hap-hazardly, but I do have carefully stacked piles in many genres. I will buy more books in this series, but I will read close to 15-20 books before I read the next Simon Canderas (protagonist) adventure.
I have now started All by Myself, Alone. by Mary Higgins Clark. We are off on another cruise, but this one is an ultra-luxury cruise going around the world, but the first leg is from NY to Southampton. Characters include a gemologist whose fiance was arrested for mega-fraud just before the wedding, an 85 year old woman who is a connoisseur of jewelry, a jewel thief (whose identity we don't know), an Interpol agent, a man who specializes in returning stolen art to the rightful owners, and, much to my delight, Willie and Alvirah Meehan, my favorite Mary Higgins Clark characters who are celebrating their 45th anniversary. We are in for a bumpy ride.
