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?

Guys, I was counting on this being a fun read, if maybe slightly macabre, and it totally was! Charlotte is a pretty average girl who happens to be murdered on her way home from school. Yeah, I would be kinda pissed if that had happened to me. So I was kinda surprised that she wasn't! At least not at...
If you love a good mystery, look no further. This story has all that you want. A life cut short, along with the who-dun-it mystery giving the reader the chance to tag alone and solve the clues.What I enjoyed most about this book is the plot. The reader is introduce to Charlotte. A bright smart girl ...
This book promised everything I love in a story: ghosts, detectives and New York City. But Dead Girls Detective Agency turned out to be just a ghost of the story I was expecting. Main character Charlotte has been pushed onto the subway tracks to her death and wakes up in a new reality in which she's...
