Sad News

For the first time since Ive started this blog i found a book i didnt like.
Here's what its called
Behind the masks by Susan Patron
Here is what the back of the book says

My name is Angie this is my story...
Life in the wild west is never dull, especially not after Angeline Reddys father, the town of Bodies greatest criminal lawyer, is declared murdered. Angie, who knows deep in her heart that he isn't dead, decides its up to her to solve the mystery of what happened to him. But when her mother takes ill a mysterious ghost appears, putting together the puzzle pieces seems impossible. Not to mention a gang of vigilantes the 601, is raging out of control, running folks out of town, and nobody is safe.
 Will Angie, with the help of her friends Ellie and Lin Loi and the mysterious and tragical handsome Antonie, be able to uncover the secrets of her fathers disappearance?

I love mysteries especially Good ones. But this one went all wrong. Although this book is under the category of Historical Fiction it has a ghost in it. Now when i read the back of the book and it said a ghost appeared i though that like many other books the "Ghost" would end up being something else like noises in the attic that end up being someone hiding up there. Or Perhaps just a charters Imagination blowing something way out of proportion. But no this had a ghost in it. Not a noise thought to be one, not imagination a ghost. When i hit that part i thought perhaps the rest of the book would leave ghosts out. But as i flipped ahead i noticed that the Ghost  had a big part in the plot so i decided to stop reading.

I know there are people out there who enjoy ghost stories and if you enjoyed this book I'm glad but i have decided that i don't what that in my head.

I'm not going to do as i normally would with the Age Good or Bad etc because i didn't finish the book.

If you have read the book please leave me a comment!
