A handsome stranger. A dead billionaire. A citywide treasure hunt. Tuesday Mooney's life is about to change in ways she--and no reader--could never expect in this "rollicking" (Star Tribune), award-winning novel. ¶ A Kirkus Reviews Best Book - An Indie Next Pick - A Library Reads Selection - A New York Post Best Book of the Week - A Publishers Weekly Pick of the Week - A Buzzfeed Best Paperback - and more! ¶ Tuesday Mooney is a loner. She keeps to herself, begrudgingly socializes, and spends much of her time watching old Twin Peaks and X-Files DVDs. But when Vincent Pryce, Boston's most eccentric billionaire, dies--leaving behind an epic treasure hunt through the city, with clues inspired by his hero, Edgar Allan Poe--Tuesday's adventure finally begins. Puzzle-loving Tuesday searches for clue after clue, joined by a ragtag crew: a wisecracking friend, an adoring teen neighbor, and a handsome, cagey young heir. The hunt tests their mettle, and with other teams from around the city also vying for the promised prize--a share of Pryce's immense wealth--they must move quickly. Pryce's clues can't be cracked with sharp wit alone; the searchers must summon the courage to face painful ghosts from their pasts (some more vivid than others) and discover their most guarded desires and dreams. A deliciously funny ode to imagination, overflowing with love letters to art, from The Westing Game to Madonna to the Knights of the Round Table, Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts is the perfect read for thrill seekers, wanderers, word lovers, and anyone looking for an escape to the extraordinary.

"<strong>Fantastic!</strong><br/><br/>I've had this book on my TBR since it came out and I finally got around to reading it. It was seriously fantastic! The scavenger hunt portion was mysterious and wonderfully written. The mystery within the mystery kept me on the edge of my seat. I am so glad I read it!"
"Loved this book and this author!"

"I really enjoyed this book! Even though we are not exactly similar, I very much identified with the main character, Tuesday, as I myself am a loner at heart. <br/><br/>I really enjoyed most of the characters, and they were not one-dimensional which is always something I hope to see in a book. I am not normally "into" books about magic, the occult or darker/horror type books... and while this has some slight elements of that in it, this book is far more a mystery story grounded in the story of Tuesday and her relationships and experiences she has with the people in her life."
