Ghosts of You | Cathy Ulrich

1 post | 1 read

Ghosts of You is a collection of short stories about seeking the lost and finding the person behind the sensationalism. It examines the tropes of mystery/crime storytelling in which the narrative always begins with the body of yet another murdered woman. They are mothers and daughters, teachers and students, lovers and wives, actresses and extras. They have been taken, but their stories still remain. This is how they set the plot in motion.

Ghosts of You | Cathy Ulrich

pick

Each short chapter begins with: "The thing about being the murdered ___ is you set the plot in motion." Then the story describes the aftermath of that loss for those left behind. Some chapters read like the plot of a TV crime show. Others are heartbreakingly realistic. Each is a thoughtful look at the ways people, both close and far removed, react to the news of a murder. I enjoyed this book, its clever premise, and unique format.
