This is an unexpectedly hilarious take on the afterlife, wrapped in a cozy murder mystery. The story kicks off with Christa, a 50-year-old woman, waking up to the less-than-ideal discovery that she and her husband have been murdered in their bed. As if that’s not enough to ruin your day, they now have to navigate the quirks of being ghosts.

Christa’s inner monologue is an absolute delight, packed with witty observations and snarky comments that keep the tone light despite the grim premise. Christa and her husband’s banter is hilarious!

As they fumble through their new ghostly existence, Christa and her husband take on the roles of amateur detectives, determined to solve the mystery of their murders. Their attempts at sleuthing are hilariously inept, adding a layer of absurdity to the narrative. Picture them trying to eavesdrop on the living but constantly getting distracted by their newfound ability to walk through walls. The humor is relentless, but Brooke also manages to sneak in some touching moments that provide depth to the characters and their relationship.

I love how important themes of love, regret, and the search for closure are handled with a light touch, ensuring the story maintains the same fun tone and engaging without becoming overly sentimental.

As Christa and her husband piece together clues, I found myself invested in uncovering the truth behind their deaths. The blend of humor, mystery, and supernatural elements makes for a refreshing and thoroughly enjoyable read.

This book is a delightful blend of comedy and mystery, perfect for anyone looking for a light-hearted yet thought-provoking read. Anne Brooke’s sharp wit and engaging storytelling make this a must-read for fans of ghostly capers.
