By and large, I'm not that big a fan of Ricky Gervais - that type of humour just doesn't do it for me.

I have to say, though, he is perfectly cast here as an misanthropic Englishman in New York, who finds - after a medical procedure gone wrong - that he can see and communicate with dead people, all of whom have a favour to ask.

In particular, Greg Kinnear's cheating husband who is trying to break up his widow's (Tea Leoni) new romance.

Predictable hi-jinks ensue along a predictable well-worn path, until Gervais' dentist Dr Bertram Pincus learns the error of his ways and how life is meant to be lived.

On a whim, Trixie picks up an idol so ugly it's cute. However, when people start following the Bob-Whites and their friends around New York City, she begins to wonder what she's stumbled into. I like the mystery in this book, and the characters are wonderful. However, there is a prophecy that forms a backbone to the plot, and that has always bugged me.

When mystery author Tracey Eaton heads to New York for her sister-in-law's wedding, she finally gets her first real life mystery. The bride has vanished and the family wants to cover it up. Why? This is my third time through the book, and I enjoy it each time. Still have a couple of small issues with the ending, but they are minor.
