The dead girls detective agency is a very non-serious book. It's good if you just don't want to read anything boring. Charlotte is just a normal teenage girl at her school, until she's murdered that is. But everyone thinks that she just tripped, so nothing was done to find her murderer. When Charlotte realizes this, she has already been a ghost for a while. She needs to solve her murder case or else she can't pass to the other side, and she has Nancy, Lorna, Tess, and Edison to help her. Well, it's really only Nancy and Lorna, the other two prefer to do nothing all day. As she tries to find her murderer, she discovers not only clues to solve the case, but also how awesome it is to be a ghost. She can choose to appear in front of humans and can transport to anywhere in Manhattan. But some of the things she finds aren't as good as you'd think. Her boyfriend, excuse me, ex-boyfriend, is using her death as an excuse to get with a lot of the popular girls. But some are good, like the fact that her best friend who she accidently ignored for a while was sticking up for her, like a true friend. What I like about this book is that while the author is funny, she also puts a lot of positive messages in her writing. Like in the end, Charlotte decided not to take revenge on her ex-boyfriend. Not many people would pass up the opportunity to scare their ex with supernatural powers. I also like is how despite being dead, Charlotte still matures. In the end, she helps Tess, despite her hating Charlotte all throughout the book. So, I liked this book because it's funny, and gives out good advice on what to do if you're brutally murdered.
