I found this book to be quite entertaining. It's a quick read, because Katherine Ramsland writes in such a way, that it is extremely difficult to put the book down.

Her reasons for wanting to see a ghost are simple at first, but as her story goes on, matters become cloudy. Ramsland does not promise any conclusive evidence of ghosts nor does she promise a...
