Cozumel had been home to Liz Palmer for ten years. She was settled, respected. Her Black Coral Dive Shop was the best on the island. She no longer missed Houston, or thought about the man who didn't want her or their child.

And for two short weeks, Cozumel was home to Jerry Sharpe, the diving instructor she'd hired. Until they found him — murdered. Suddenly Jonas Sharpe, Jerry's twin brother, stormed into her well ordered life with grief in his eyes and revenge in his heart. He plunged them both into the desperate world of drug smugglers — and into the dangerous depths of passion.

Review: Ghost Month by Ed Lin

A Mysterious Review of Ghost Month by Ed Lin.

Review summary: This is an odd crime novel in which the mystery of who killed the narrator's ex-girlfriend and why is completely secondary to a running commentary from him on all things Taiwanese. None of the characters are all that interesting or engaging in this storyline that is, for the most part, simply tedious to read. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Ghost Month
Ed Lin
Soho Crime (July 2014)

Publisher synopsis: August is Ghost Month in Taiwan — a time to commemorate the dead: burn incense, visit shrines, commemorate ancestors, and avoid unlucky situations, large purchases, and bodies of water. Jing-nan, a young man who runs a food stand in a bustling Taipei night market, doesn't consider himself superstitious, but this August is going to haunt him no matter what he does.

He is shocked to the core when he learns his ex-girlfriend from high school has been murdered. She was found scantily clad and shot in the chest on the side of a highway where she was selling betel nuts to passing truck drivers. Beyond his harrowing grief for this lost love of his life, Jing-nan is also confused by the news: "betel nut beauties" are usually women in the most desperate of circumstances; the job is almost as taboo as prostitution. But Julia Huang had been the valedictorian of their high school, and the last time Jing-nan spoke to her she was enrolled in NYU's honor program, far away in New York.

The facts don't add up. Julia's parents don't think so, either, and the police seem to have closed the case without asking any questions. The Huangs beg Jing-nan if he can do some investigating on his own — reconnect with old classmates, see if he can learn anything about Julia's life that she might have kept from them. Reluctantly, he agrees, for Julia's sake; but nothing can prepare him for what he learns, or how it will change his life.

Virginia Clements was looking for a fresh start. Leaving her actor husband, after discovering his infidelity, she travelled under the assumed name of Ginnie Durrell. When her car crashes in the coastal town of Westhampton, she decides that this is as good a place as any to begin anew.

Her love of the stage draws her to a troupe of actors. But they have more on their minds than just acting. Each cast member has a strange interest in her past life; some know her real name, others start asking questions …

When Ginnie accidentally intercepts a phone call demanding a large sum of money to be dropped off in payment for a suspicious act, a trail of unsettling clues begins. Silent, anonymous phone calls, doorbells ringing in the night, footsteps in the dark, and a figure on her balcony. What are the actors of The Little Theatre trying to hide? Who is disrupting the peace she had so desperately hoped to find? What deadly secrets lie in this sleepy seaside town?

For Ginnie, who had wished for a new life, this is just the beginning …
