Review of Ghost Dreams

Ghost Dreams by Matthew Hughes

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was a very interesting and enjoyable book, with several unexpected twists. The narrator, Stan Winkleman, is a professional burglar. He thinks he's hit the jackpot when he discovers an upscale house with high-end art that's been abandoned for decades. Alas, he also discovers a ghost - one who basically possesses him and demands that he help her.

The story unfolds from there as Stan and his daughter Jeannie, who is autistic but high-functioning, solve two mysteries. The first is what the ghost wants, namely the fate of her son, taken from her as an infant. The second is why somebody is very determined to keep this 50+ year old event a secret. As I said, there's a lot of twists which makes this book difficult to summarize, but it's well-written and very entertaining. Highly recommended.
