A mystery with a paranormal twist to it. Catherine and Chance head to China for their honeymoon and to meet Chance’s Family.
I didn’t quite get into it at first. Perhaps because it was too character driven initially. However, as the book progressed and the murder part of the book started, I began to enjoy it more. It is well written and moves along at a nice enough pace.
Some great descriptions of China and Chinese culture.
Overall, I enjoyed this and thank you for the opportunity to read it.

A newlywed couple embark on their honeymoon to China and while reconnecting with family and friends witness a murder investigation with connections to the past.
The story begins as Catherine and Chance make final preparations for their wedding and then travel to China to explore and for Catherine to meet Chance’s family for the first time. This is a very character focused story, introducing us to people who then turn out to be connected with the bodies found later in the book and the character’s pasts.
There’s a lot of focus on Chinese culture, especially pertaining to newlywed traditions and the annual Ghost Night, which I found enlightening and really helped to establish the setting.... Read Full Review
On the annual Ghost Night when spirits wander, newlyweds Catherine Roxborough and her partner Chance Yang never imagined death would stalk their summery seaside destination.
Excited to meet her husband's family on their honeymoon, Catherine crosses paths with new acquaintances, young and old, as they journey from London to northern coastal China. However, the couple's celebrations are marred when ghosts of the past come back to haunt the Yangs, as three naked dead bodies are discovered in a nearby seaside derelict - three people the honeymooners had only just met.
Was it murder, an act of revenge, or an affair gone wrong? The answer to these questions may hit closer to home than Catherine could ever expect or than Chance is willing to admit. And as the couple chases the clues, the bride realizes that her new husband may have ghastly secrets to hide.
As the mystery unravels and the pair becomes entangled in a decade-old investigation, Catherine faces a dilemma: stand by her partner or expose the truth and implicate a beloved family member. But amidst the turmoil, only one thing remains certain: the path they choose could forever reshape their lives.
