This was a fun read and something a little different to the usual murder/mystery and whilst there are times when I found it a little immature - surprising really as the main character is in her 30's - overall, I quite enjoyed it.

The main characters of Claire, Sophie, Basher and Alex are an excellent eclectic group of people (and a ghost!) and I found their friendship was really well developed and felt authentic; the other characters ... not so much; they were a little stereotypical which was unfortunate. The mystery element was intriguing but the pace was a little slow.

Overall, a pretty good read although it may appeal to a more younger audience than me, i.e., under 30's!

Thanks to Atlantic Books, Corvus and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Grave Expectations.

Mystery Movie Leads to Real Life Murder
A movie production has come to Oak Creek Valley, but the star of the film in a horrible jerk. And that’s putting it mildly. He won’t stop harassing Carissa’s best friend, Ashley. That is until someone kills him. With rumors flying that Ashley did it, Carissa sets out to clear her friend. Can she figure out who really killed the star?

I hadn’t realized how much I love these characters until I picked up this book. It was great to spend time with them again. And the new characters were strong and helped pull me into the story. The plot started well, but it did faulter a little in the second half. Even then, these are minor issues. If you are looking for a charming cozy mystery, you’ll be glad you picked up this book.
