A New Lease on Death was a murder mystery and that is not my usual genre, but something about it made me grab it, and I’m glad I did. Tbf, it had the supernatural aspect of ghosts, and a ghost and her roommate were the mystery solving duo. Cordelia Graves died in her apartment which Ruby Young then rents, excited to find it’s fully furnished, and not at all scared of the ghost she discovers!

This book had great gal pal vibes as well as comedy! The mystery wasn’t overwhelming and the investigation was realistic. The characters were silly caricatures of Boston townies, which I thought was fun. 

In the end, this book that I wouldn’t have normally picked up was 4 stars, and I’m excited to see how the next book plays out because this one very clearly set up a bigger mystery about Cordelia’s own death!
