‘A Ghost for a Clue’ by C.L.R. Draeco is the first book in a science fiction and fantasy series that incorporates scientific fact and supernatural lore in order to create a plotline that feels authentic and believable. Bram’s workmate dies and Torula thinks she’s been able to gather the data that proves her greenhouse is haunted. With these two incidents possibly connected, Bram and Torula combine fields, expertise and resources in order to conduct scientific research into the afterlife. Grounding the story with scientific facts and supernatural lore makes this book a detailed, intriguing and entertaining read. If you like science and the paranormal, you will love this book. It has an abundance of both. Some great plotting and very likeable characters, in particular the main character. On the whole I enjoyed this book and would recommend you reading it. I do like to read books that are a bit different for me, and this did the trick. Thank you for the opportunity to read this.
What if science proved the existence of life after death—and did something about it? Bram Morrison, an aspiring astronaut, has always believed that death is where it all ends. Until he gets a phone call from a dead friend. He tries to dismiss it as somebody’s bad joke, but the chilling mystery proves far too compelling. When Torula Jackson, a botanist, tells him her laboratory might be haunted, she offers him a chance to investigate—and he dares to look behind death’s door. That choice puts a risk on his lifelong dream. NASA wants him to deepen the science of our world—not the afterworld, and exploring the bizarre is sure to invite ridicule. But his deepening relationship with Torula, compounded by a twist of circumstances, compels him to stay and chase the supernatural. With each equation and each experiment, he gets closer to the answers humanity seeks about the physics of our soul, sparking objections from those who fear what he might discover. Struggling to reconcile his own skepticism with what is slowly unraveling to be real, he dares to investigate what happens to our memories after we die—starting with a ghost for a clue.
