This month I choose The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan.
Two engaging stories weave together and finally make sense of each other at the end.
It’s a story full of coincidences and improbabilities. There is even a ghost and a couple of love stories. There are mysteries aplenty too. Why was a biscuit tin containing someone’s ashes left on a train? Why is the ghost so angry? How will Laura ever be able to return all of the objects that her former boss found?
Yet it all works beautifully and makes for a very pleasant read.
Anthony Perdew, the original collector of the objects, was a short story writer and interwoven in the text are some of his stories about the objects - many of which actually come very close to the truth.
The characters are charming and in my view well-rounded and believable.
Ruth Hogan keeps you engaged as she outlines the tasks for The Keeper of Lost Things.
