The Postmaster looked over my shoulder. As I turned to look I saw a flicker of movement from across the street. I felt unseen eyes peer at me. He walked away without another word. I watched as he climbed onto his bicycle and sped away down the street. I turned back and looked over my shoulder. Someone had been watching us.

stars for originality
This is a new author for me. The book had no reviews but I gave it a shot anyway. The story is good, very descriptive, had a good twist and I liked the ending. That said, it was a bit slow getting there. I do enjoy good character development, but this was a bit more than needed.
I really enjoyed the narrator! He was very good at telling the story with emotion and changing his voice slightly for each character.
I would recommend this book for people that like scary, ghosty stuff and a good story.

Outstanding narration!
I rarely recall details of the plots of books I've read. This one is no exception regarding "A Shadow On The Lens," featuring the same main character. There are a few references to the action in the other book, but not many. I felt this one stood alone well. However, I recall the other book as being more consistently spooky. Here, there's a slow start, followed by some seriously creepy, Gothic action. Then, as is referred to in the blurbs and some reviews, the protagonist becomes the accused for the multiple murders; I skimmed through the chapters taking place while he was incarcerated, feeling there was more graphic violence than I care for, no matter how realistic it may have been. At the risk of a major spoiler, all I'll say is that he's able to work on clearing himself from outside the jail, which brings back the previous excitement.
As for the conclusion, Hurcom left open the possibility for a paranormal series featuring the main character, which would be just fine with me!
