Synopsis

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.

Many thanks to HMH for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review ”A broken heart hurt like hell, but it kept beating. A lost mind was something else entirely.” If Ninth House and Caraval had a baby, this book would be it. It was fantastic, funny, and scary! So, what’s this book......more

In a word, disjointed. In another word, disappointing. There were so many fun “ingredients” in this one but, man, did they not coagulate. There were way too many things going on. Serious things, funny things, sad things, weird things, all the things. They lost me. It didn’t help that I keep putting......more

Goodreads review by Betsy on July 21, 2019

Good start, but then a miss... Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts starts with an inventive premise. An eccentric billionaire dies, and he sends the people of Boston on a Poe-themed treasure hunt to recover his fortune. The first chapter or two built up my expectations. After that? I just wasn't intereste......more
