The supposed link between these sixteen stories is Supernatural Detectives. This premise does not work well however as not all the tales are supernatural and others do not really have a sleuth to investigate. Anyway they are a very varied bunch,and neither of the the best two stories -'The Ghost with the Club-foot' and 'Like Clockwork' contain a ghost. Several begin well such as 'The Sheelagh-na-gig' and 'Spirit Solutions',but end poorly. Rather a disappointment overall
as I expected much more from this collection.
