It’s October, and that means all things spooky. Well, it’s more socially acceptable for spooky things than the rest of the year; for some of us, it’s Halloween in our hearts year round!
A solid murder mystery is also great all year round, but they’re even more seasonally appropriate when they’re of the paranormal variety. So to celebrate this month of hauntings and the uncanny, here’s a list of five mysteries that involve ghosts and spirits in some way.
 A New Lease on Death by Olivia BlackeThis Anthony Award-winning mystery was one of my favorite books of 2024. When Ruby moved into her new Boston apartment, she didn’t expect the prior tenant to still be there. But she is, sort of. Cordelia is a ghost, and she’s annoyed that Ruby managed to kill almost all of her plants. But when one of her neighbors is found murdered in front of their apartment building, Cordelia feels the need to find some justice. She needs Ruby’s help, even if they can’t really talk and Cordelia hasn’t quite figured out the whole ghost thing yet. It’s a delightful read that makes you want more and more books with Ruby and Cordelia. Good news on that front: the next book in the series, Death at the Door, came out last week on October 21st. All Access members read on for more ghosts and demons in mysteries! |
