Critics Review
Praise for A New Lease on Death
MARIE CLAIRE–ONE OF THE 15 BEST PARANORMAL BOOKS OF ALL TIME, FROM SHIRLEY JACKSON TO STEPHEN KING
“This pair of amateur detectives just works, and readers will root for them and the friendship they’re building.” -Booklist
“This clever take on hauntings, with tinges of that old classic Topper, and the newer television series Ghosts, puts both haunter and hauntee into some unique and entertaining situations… This novel is by turns funny and tingly scary, with a bit of gumshoe work thrown in.” -New York Journal of Books
“A lot of twists and turns… I highly recommend A New Lease on Death for readers who enjoy paranormal novels, as well as a detective duo with vastly conflicting but complementing personalities.” - Aunt Agatha’s
“A fun, supernatural mystery.” -Red Carpet Crash
“Droll, a touch maudlin, and featuring two outstanding characters.” -First Clue
“A hauntingly good time!” -Elle Cosimano
“Bursting with cleverness and fun, A New Lease on Death is a detective novel with a twist… I can’t wait to tell everyone about this book!” -Eliza Jane Brazier
Witty, fun, and propulsive, A New Lease on Death was an absolute delight. Blacke’s keen eye for detail really shines through!” -Amanda Jayatissa
“Absolutely addictive… I didn’t want it to end.” -Lyn Liao Butler
“Smart. Quirky. Suspenseful. Everything you could want in a whodunnit.” -Darcie Wilde
“My new favorite sleuthing odd couple… This delightfully dark mystery is well-crafted with humor and heart.” -Celeste Connally
