Review: CHARLIE HARMER AND THE LADY IN RED by Brendan Detzner


4 Stars

Charlie Harmer is an endearing,  likeable--ghost. Yes: once upon a time Charlie was a  Chicago DJ, then he died, and his less-than-perfect record did not qualify him for entrance into Heaven.  So, instead of an eternity in the hot spot, Charlie gets to be an active ghost and do tasks for "the boss." (Not Hades' Big Boss, though; more like middle management.)

Charlie is endearing, but he's not always smart. He forgets that rules have consequences, and that maybe he's not the only rook in play on the chessboard.
