Helpful Score: 2
Simon R. Green is one of the authors I just got to buy from the store as I see them. So, I picked up 'Ghost of a Chance'. The first of the ghost finders series.
The story is about J.C. Chance (The Leader), Melody Chambers (The techno-wizard), and Happy Jack Plamer (A pill-popping telepath) of the Carnacki institute are sent to the Oxford Circus tube to investigate a haunting. To make things more difficult, the Crowly project sent two of there own agents. Natasha Chang (A femme fatale ghost eater) and Erik Grossman (a mad scientist). The story is over all forgettable and certain elements are just feel thrown together and an ending that was just cheesy. The characters are usually the high point in his novels but, these were flat. The only one I liked was Happy Jack.
This isn't the worst book hes written (that 'honor' goes to The Unnatural Inquirer (Nightside, Book 8). Maybe by the next book in the series, he will flesh out the characters more a have a much more engaging story.
