Book Description

20 Oct 2012

Pop quiz: What would you do if you had to solve your own murder to get anywhere in death?

Maybe if I hadn't slept through my alarm, slammed into Kristin--my high school's reigning mean

girl--or stepped in a puddle, destroying my mom's new suede DVF boots (which I borrowed without asking), I wouldn't have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I wouldn't have been pushed in front of that arriving train. But I did, and I was.

When I came to, I was informed by a group of girls that I'm dead. And that because I died under mysterious circumstances, I can't pass straight over to the Other Side. But at least I'm not alone. Meet the Dead Girls Detective Agency: Nancy, Lorna, and Tess--not to mention Edison, the really cute if slightly hostile dead boy. Apparently, the only way out of this limbo is to figure out who killed me, or I'll have to spend eternity playing Nancy Drew. Considering I was fairly invisible in life, who could hate me enough to want me dead? And what if my murderer is someone I never would have suspected?

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good read 25 Nov 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. From the first page I was left wanting to find out more. The storyline was well thought out and moved along at a good pace. The characters and dialogue were snappy with plenty action.
I read this book because I have known the author since she was a young girl and it was her debut novel. I wasn't disappointed. It was great and I hope there will be more to come

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, touching and entertaining. 6 Nov 2012
By Kate Phillips TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This book took me completely by surprise. I was expecting mediocre but what I got was a million times better. I read the first page and knew instantly that I was going to really love it.

What really made this book great was Charlotte, the main characters narration. It was snappy and entertaining from beginning to end. I really loved this girl she was smart and full of spirit. Suzy Cox made her personality so big that she practically bursts off the page. Normally big characters are a bit annoying but not Charlotte, Cox knew when to keep her leading lady down and I honestly have nothing negative to say about her.

Edison is also pretty cool. He is broody, sassy and a pain in the ass but I still liked him. he is a little more what you would expect from YA, he wasn't as big or bold as Charlotte but he didn't need to be as this book is about Charlotte and the lessons she learns and has very little to do with romance which was fine. I never thought this book needed anymore romance then there was.

I actually think that this book is pretty smart on the surface it is a light-hearted and hilarious read but just beneath the surface there is something a bit more complex and deep. There are messages here about life, death and loss, and there were moments that I found surprisingly touching. What I love about this book is that it didn't linger on the sadness of death but instead, in its own unique way focused on the beauty of life.

The Dead Girls Detective Agency is fun, engaging and entertaining. It is a fast and snappy read that will often make you laugh and sometimes make you really think. It took me by surprise and I really, really liked it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your normal crime investigation ! 5 Nov 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book - a change to have an investigation carried out 'from above'. A good book for teenagers upwards.
