Murray Kiefer is special. Some people call him clairvoyant or psychic. Call it what you will, Murray speaks to dead people. Don’t worry; Price gives due props to The Sixth Sense. It’s just another day when Murray hears a new voice, a ghost girl, screaming in the cementary. These desparate wails and a missing girl are more than coincidental. The investigation introduces a few other wiley characters amongst which Murray just might be the sanest of them all.

Every couple of pages, the story alternates between 4 characters which can be discouraging for readers. So to combat this annoyance, I created a pdf character list in the shape of a tombstone bookmark (2-sided) which you’ll be able to print off and put in your copies. Download here: RIP Character List. However, the quick pace will keep readers engaged and wanting more. Price gives his readers just enough grit for the imagination, without being overly graphic.
