This was one of my choices based on the theme of ghosts and because it has good reviews on Amazon. Most of it was read on planes to, from and and within India. It tells the story of a retired rock star, Martin Stride, who finds that the old railway station on his extensive estate seems to be huanted. Locomotive sounds and smells are experienced, the sound of wartime music and the sight of a "soul-less" figure. He approaches Julian Steed the world-renowned TV ghost hunter, who he does not realise is a complete fraud and only thinking of his next episode, well at the outset anyway. The first half of this story seems to meander much more than required to the point of becoming a little tiresome but the story improves considerably in the second half leading up an exciting and quite unexpected ending. Add to that a bit of a love story (!!!) and overall it was well worth a read. Enjoyed it muchly!
