Amelia has been hired to restore an old college graveyard that’s long since fallen into disrepair. That all changes with her latest project. Until now, Amelia’s life has been carefully constructed to minimize ghostly contact. After all, to become attached to someone who has ghosts attached to them means that you are in effect inviting those ghosts into your life. As an extension of this rule, she also makes a point to avoid people who have ghosts attached to them. If you acknowledge their presence, they will attach themselves to you and it will be near-impossible to get rid of them. In the world of The Restorer, ghosts are parasites that feed off the life force of the living. The main one is to pretend you don’t see them. Thanks to her father, Amelia follows a set of strict rules when it comes to ghosts. I find the unusual occupation interesting (though I admit I’m also a bit morbid myself), but I do wonder about the choice to work in cemeteries when you can see ghosts! Amelia’s father was a cemetery caretaker and Amelia herself grew up to become a cemetery restorer. That said, I have my suspicions that she knows something’s up. This is something of a family secret, in that they don’t share the existence of their abilities with her mother. Like her father, she has the ability to see ghosts.

More so when I discovered the premise of your new trilogy. So when I found your latest novel in a recent package from Jane, I was hopeful.
In fact, I think I may have reviewed it here on DA! (Yup, I did.) Although the details of the book have long since become fuzzy, I do remember having a generally positive reaction to it. I don’t often read many thrillers, but I picked up a previous novel of yours a couple years back.
