Goodreads' search function is bad and I do not approve. It seems to return the most popular books related to what you type in, not the ones who are most relevant to the words you've actually typed? For instance, I was searching for Roman Women: Everyday Life in Hadrian's Britain. I typed in Roman Women. The returned results had a couple of books that were actually about Roman women, but also included Tess of the D'Urbervilles and One Thousand White Women. The title I was looking for did not appear at all until I started typing in the subtitle. WHY????? The fact that I always have to remember the subtitles or else it's impossible to find books on this site drives me batty.
Another example: Ghostland: In Search of a Haunted Country is like the fifteenth result, behind, obviously, some books also called Ghostland but also behind books in a series called Ghostland Worlds, A Babe in Ghostland, etc.

That's because it's owned by Amazon. By design, it's meant to push you toward the books Amazon wants to sell, not necessarily the titles or topics you're searching.

Anyway. I tried searching "ghostland site:goodreads.com" on DuckDuckGo and the book you were looking for was the fifth result. (It has to be DDG, apparently; Startpage is blocked.)
