When Callie Taylor died, she expected to go to heaven—or maybe hell.
Instead, when she was murdered in Dallas by some jerk with a knife and a
bad-mommy complex, she went to Alabama. Now she’s seen another murder,
and she can’t just let it go; she must find a way to make sure the
police figure out who really killed Molly McClatchy before an innocent
man goes to prison, all the while trying to determine how and why she
woke up dead in Alabama.
Review
Callie, the unlikely hero in Margo Bond Collins' paranormal mystery, Waking Up Dead,
is smart, sarcastic, and very funny. It's fun to watch her figure out
her limitations as a ghost and see how she works at getting the real
murderer caught. The other supporting characters in the book are almost
as much fun. They're real-life people who somehow are able to see and
communicate with Callie. Along with the fun and paranormal stuff,
however, Collins has written a first-rate mystery with spot-on detection
headed by Callie and her unlikely sidekick, Maw-Maw. Waking Up Dead rocks. I loved every minute I spent reading it. ~Jack Magnus
The author has deftly woven a tale of mystery, murder, and suspense. It is a fast paced book that leaves the reader wanting more. There are two plots in the story, both of which are equally filled with suspense. Mystery books are always exciting for readers because there are many avenues for readers to put on their thinking caps and solve the puzzle before the author reveals all. Apart from how Callie landed up in Alabama after her death, the plot of Molly McClatchey's murder is equally intriguing. The author has managed to run the two murder stories together without making it too heavy for reader. ~Mamta Madhavan
Callie is amazing because even though she's dead and most would assume she has limitless powers (she doesn't), she's just like a regular person. Her biting wit and sarcasm are evident on every page but the people who are chosen to help her are just as interesting and funny along the way. Waking up Dead is great in how it details a life after death and the truth of what happens to those ghosts who are simply stuck in the real world with no way of moving on or going home. ~Samantha Rivera
