Green Ishmael travels to be a security agent for some high profile business people. One of his fellow agents was killed there and he is sent there to find who did it while he is there. It's a great mystery with weird characters, some creepy science fiction/horror, twists, and Penny is there too! Good story! Very Important Corpses is the third book in Green's Ishmael Jones series. Ishmael Jones is a not quite human agent for the Organization. He is sent to investigate the death of a fellow agent who was on a mission at a mansion on the shores of Loch Ness. A group of very influential people were meeting there and it was suspected that there was an imposter. When other people start to die, Jones has to solve the case and stop the killer. I really like the mix of classic mystery and paranormal in this series. If you take out the supernatural elements, it reads much like an Agatha Christie mystery. Although there is not a lot of depth to the stories, there is growth in the character of Ishmael as the series continues and I look forward to seeing where that goes in future books. Overall, it was an entertaining paranormal mystery that kept me entertained on a lazy afternoon. I read Dead Man Walking, the previous book in this series, last summer and loved it. So image my happiness of getting the chance to read this book. Just like in the previous book must Ishmael and his partner Penny once again travel to an isolated house to investigate a mystery. But, this time it's to Coronach House on the shores of Loch Ness. A fellow agent has been murdered, and now Ishmael must find out who killed her before anyone else is murdered. But, that's easier said than done. Very Important Corpses is a bit similar to the Dead Man Walking, not so much the case, but the old house far from civilization, with a dark history. And, as with Dead Man Walking mayhem will soon arise, and more people will end up dead. I found this book to be entertaining and engrossing, although, not as good as Dead Man Walking. But, still pretty awesome. I love both Ishmael and Penny, they are a very dynamic duo and it's quite fun reading about their antics as they try to investigate (and threaten and fight people) for answers, well mostly Ishmael. The revealing of the big bad villain was perhaps not a big surprise, but I quite enjoy returning to Ishmael and Penny's world of mysteries, mayhem, and murders and I look forward to reading the next book (and the first one that I have yet gotten my hands on)! I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review!
