Review of 'The Haunting of Tram Car 015' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I was surprised by how funny and engaging I found this brief paranormal mystery to be for such a short read. I loved how much culture, history, and fantastical world building was integrated into the story while also telling a captivating story. All of the characters were lovable and quirky in their own unique ways. While not exactly believable, I loved how the story was paced and how dialogue was written. I do think the book benefited from being so short as I don't think the charm of the characters would have lasted for a full length novel. Not sure who would like this kind of book as its a sort of mix between urban fantasy, paranormal, and crime mystery, but I definitely enjoyed it!
