An Inquiry Into Love and Death by Simone St. JamesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I listened to An Inquiry Into Love and Death written by Simone St. James and narrated by Rosalyn Landor. Either audiobook or written format are great ways to consume this. It is not so complex that you lose the plot while listening. It also went by very quickly. I finished it in a day.
Simone St. James is always a great choice for a good ghost story. This one is no exception. This one has a somewhat gothic feel to it. Young woman inherits an estate in a haunted area full of quirky locals who may or may not be dangerous. A dashing inspector comes out to investigate the death of her relative even though nobody necessarily suspects foul play. Sparks but not so much that it overwhelms the spooky bits. It is a little bit Jane Austen meets Shirley Jackson.
Bonus points for Sultana and Poseidon.
