Publisher's Summary

From the number one Sunday Times best-selling author.

Philip Noble is an eleven-year-old in crisis. His pub landlord father has died in a road accident, and his mother is succumbing to the greasy charms of her dead husband's brother, Uncle Alan. The remaining certainties of Philip's life crumble away when his father's ghost appears in the pub and declares Uncle Alan murdered him.

Arming himself with weapons from the school chemistry cupboard, Philip vows to carry out the ghost's relentless demands for revenge. But can the words of a ghost be trusted any more than the lies of the living?

Way too much hesitation on murdering

This book was okay. Could have been better if the first half was shortened. The ending was well written and i really liked it but the first part dragged. wish the resolution was more developped honestly. The ending kinda make me throw my phone on the sofa from frustration, but the last part before that was good. Got vibes from the midnight library. Thanks for the phylosophical thoughts.

not recommended

I had high hopes for this book, but the only thing that kept me listening was the narrator who was terrific. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did.
