A review by danarenee_reads
The Dead Girls Detective Agency by Suzy Cox

2.0

This one started out pretty good, but the last third of the book just went further and further downhill. The conclusion of the murder they were solving was, in my opinion, absurd and then there was a few lines at the end that made me roll my eyes.

The entire book is about a young, murdered, teen trying to solve her murder as a ghost so she can get her "key" to a door that leads to the afterlife. Until she does this she is stuck in limbo. So at the end, when of course the murder is solved, she has a supernatural experience (okay the whole book is a supernatural experience, but this was a new one) and then looks down to see a key in her hand and has this thought... "It wasn't just any key. It was my key. Somewhere inside I instinctively knew it." Well, duh! You have spent the entire last 333 pages waiting for your key and now you have one in your hand, what other key would it be...seriously?

I just don't like when teen books tell you the obvious and treat you like you're too stupid to pick this one major thing up. I think the readers could have guessed it was her key, just like she should have without needing her instincts to tell her it. (insert eye roll!)

Yes, just one line in a book can make me dislike it. Oh, that and the fact that it seems like the start to a series...a ghost detective series.
