Bingo – the murder mystery has a built-in time limit. They shed memories until there’s nothing left but a blob of grief and unfinished business that can’t cross over to the afterlife because it doesn’t remember how. How does she keep the stakes high, when one of the main characters is already dead? Lingering on Earth isn’t good for ghosts. No detail in the first few chapters goes to waste. Kowal sets up Checkov’s guns and Checkov’s gunmen all over the beginning of the story. It’s also a great of example of how rip-roaring adventure stories are done. I will love any book that contains lines like this: Ghost Talkers is surprisingly light-hearted given all the death. Naturally, a ghost and a medium work together to solve the ghost’s murder because that’s the coolest thing you can do with this magic system. It’s World War One, and British soldiers are trained that if they die, they should report to headquarters and tell a medium the last thing they saw, to coordinate with military intelligence. That’s all you need to know about how awesome this book is.
