I had a very very good time with this book, and I'm excited to read more from this author. I liked the characterizations, I appreciated the backstory, and I could see hanging out with these folks. I felt like the first like 3/4 were slightly stronger than the last quarter, but it felt like an older version of The Westing Game, which I LOVED when I was younger, so that was a very happy little nostalgia.

A bit misleading title... But Tuesday Mooney Talks to A Ghost doesn't have the same ring to it. But still, very fun. The pacing and quirky characters and constant references made me think of Gilmore Girls. This was a book I was excited to pick up again and again. I need to check out more by this author!
