An intriguing and unique spectral murder mystery that you didn't know existed, but should.

Hello literary fellow literary shadow Warriors. I thought for our first official conversation to christen the clandestine life of books virtual club clubhouse. We could discuss a supernatural murder mystery by a relatively new author. Mr. Jacob D. Woodthrush. I have always been a fan of murder mysteries. Everything from Agatha Christie, such as Ms. Marple and Poirot, Sherlock Holmes (obviously no true ministry fan can avoid reading Sherlock), Ian Rankin's John Rebus (a rebus is a type of puzzle by the way) to J.P. Beaumont by J.A. Jance. Although to be fair when it comes to J.P. Beaumont, as I live in the Pacific Northwest. All these authors and books are wonderful in their own right, but they are classic whodunit crime detective stories, and occasionally I like to ministry with a slightly different perspective, which is how I happened to discover Mr. Woodthrush's intriguing book I was perusing Amazon. As I often do when I'm bored and looking for something new to read I think I typed in "ghost stories" or "supernatural" or something similar to that into the Amazon search box and "spectral reflections." Happen to pop up and as it was relatively inexpensive (I think it was less than three dollars for the Kindle version) and I like to support up-and-coming authors whenever possible. I thought I'd give it a shot. And surprisingly I was not at all disappointed spectral reflections that classic murder mystery and turns it on its ear. Dan Peterson is murdered in a parking lot while making a U-turn, and that is the last thing he remembers. He wakes up on a park bench in an alternative world that isn't quite purgatory and isn't quite heaven with no idea how he got there or what's expected of him. He meets Hannah, and another lost soul that has entered this strange world that feels familiar but different, with no more an idea of where she is or how she got there. Then Dan has the dual of them decide after much discussion and deliberation that the best course of action is to figure out why they were both murdered in hopes that it will bring them some answers.

Unlike most supernatural mystery stories, the characters don't have any mystical powers such as the ability to see the future or levitate buildings or anything else that would help them interact with the world of the living in fact. Mr. Woodthrush uses a very insisting mechanism. When it comes to allowing the living impaired characters to interact with the living world, there are plenty of twists and turns and intriguing clues that will keep you turning pages from start to finish this book may never be a modern classic. But I guarantee that all my fellow literary shadow Warriors, who are intrigued by ghosts and the afterlife will ever wondered just what happens when you reach the great beyond will be intrigued by the story. Mr. Jacob D. Woodthrush is definitely not there to watch.

I suggest if you're interested, you pop on over to Amazon and see about picking yourself up a copy.
