A review by megmcardle
Alive in Necropolis by Doug Dorst

3.0

This was one of those books that pulled me in immediately, but failed to keep my love. The concept of a cop in the (very real) Colma, California - a city of cemetaries - who is pulled into the law enforcement woes of ghosts could have been great. Unfortunately, I thought he created a bunch of incredibly vivid characters but failed to have them doing anything particularly interesting. There was this young cop's real life, and then there is the life of the ghosts, and there really wasn't enough going on in either or enough interesting intersections between the two worlds to make it a 4 star book for me. If it is a first novel, it is an author I will definitely try again.
