Good ghost story. Not as good as his other books I've read, but good.
cnyreader's review against another edition

I think Jeff Long is a good thriller author- his books are never too long and usually present an interesting premise with a good amount of twists and turns. This one, however... may have missed the mark a little.
Molly is a journalist recently arrived in Cambodia, taking a chance on a story about recovering an American soldier's remains. She hopes this story will be her big break. She meets Duncan, an expert on ancient Cambodian history and culture and who has participated in many digs, and Keats, searching for his lost brother, believed dead and perhaps the remains they are searching for. Long paints wonderful pictures and things get exciting. And then, after developing to a great moment of tension, we rush through the ending and everything is wrapped up waaaaaaaaaay too neatly. Boo on that.
Food: Nachos. Thrillers are like that for me- not too meaty, and you can chow down a whole plate without getting full. These, however, had too many soggy chips at the bottom.
