A New Lease on Death
Author: Olivia Blacke
Ruby moves into a new apartment in Boston, not realizing the prior occupant is still there. The fact that Cordelia is dead and a ghost makes the situation even more weird. Then, these two strange roomies end up on the trail of a killer. Can they figure out who killed their neighbor without Ruby becoming a ghost, too?
What an interesting and creative story! The chapters alternate between Ruby and Cordelia, telling the story from both of their points of view. There is quite the adjustment to being roommates as well. They have to figure out how to communicate with each other and how to work together to solve a murder when one of them is incorporeal.
I started out reading a hardback version of this book from the library. But my book came due before I finished, so I switched to the audio book through Hoopla (love love love my local library!). The audio [Dreamscape Media, 2024, 9 hrs 30 minutes] is narrated by Stefanie Kay. She has a pleasant voice, reads at a steady pace, and does a great job of voice acting.
I enjoyed this book from start to finish. There is a lot of amateur sleuthing, several suspects, and some interesting twists!
Moving on to book 2 in this series!
