Ghost of a Chance

De: Jayne Ann Krentz

Anne Silver's brother had been working to expose a clever ring of swindlers when he was struck down by a car, a clear case of attempted murder. Now Anne's determined to finish what her brother started.

But she can't do it without the help of ex-CIA agent Julian Aries, a man who once betrayed her. With Julian as an unwilling conspirator, the couple goes undercover to face ghosts old and new, an unsolved murder and a clever gang of fake psychics. But as Anne and Julian put their lives on the line, the icy chill of danger and a powerful desire they can no longer deny force them to confront the greatest unsolved mystery of all, their unlikely love.

Should have been titled “The Misogynist Tale.”

Weird arguing the whole book. I don’t know why I finished it except that I paid for it, and based upon the author, I kept expecting it to get better. No witty dialogue, unlikable one dimensional characters. The worst book that I have encountered in years. The narrator could not be blamed- nothing with which to work.

Before she was at the top of her game

I love Jane Ann Krentz. I think this one was written before she was a master of her genre, though. Later novels feature strong men and women who are also vulnerable and imperfect, which makes them very real.

Not her best

What would have made Ghost of a Chance better?

A total rewrite

What was most disappointing about Jayne Ann Krentz’s story?

The whole thing

How could the performance have been better?

A different reader might have made it tolerable, this reader seemed like she was screaming through the whole book, plus, her character voices were terrible.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No

Any additional comments?

I have read many of Jayne's books and I have to admit, it was a struggle to even get through this book. Don't waste your time or credit.

Struggled to finish.

Unfortunately, I found this book to be boring. Did not like the narrator as well.
