Ok, first I should say that "Ghost of a Chance" is by Katie Macalister writing as Kate Marsh. I'm a fan of Macalister's Aisling Grey series and I even like most of her Dark Ones vampires series. So I picked up this book which is shelved in the mystery section. Second, I should say that this book is written mostly in the first person. So if that bugs you, you've been warned! Now, this book centers around the character of Karma Marx. She's a paranormal being and ends up assisting Adam, another paranormal being, in a murder investigation involving paranormal beings and a couple of humans. I'm not sure, but this book appears to be written with the possibility of other books to follow using the same/similar characters. I really didn't enjoy the book very much. The mystery was mystifying, but the denouement was unsatisfying. Yes, the clues were there, but the author intentionally left out the biggest clues regarding the perp. The murderer, although arguably justified, was not discovered via the clues. I guess that is what really bugged me. This book could very well be fabulous for others. It zipped along at a rapid pace and at 279 pages was a quick read. It just didn't leave me with a good taste in my mouth.
