Is this the same book as Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts? If so it should be made clear. I did not get on with this story at all - I think it may be aimed at the Young Adult market. It is quirky but confusing - I didn't really understand the story, there were too many characters, and I thought it was silly. I didn't finish it.

I found it quite difficult to connect and keep pace with so many characters. The treasure hunt following a death at a charity auction should have been a good storyline but I struggled to get involved with it. It may be my age (OAP) but it wasn’t for my particular enjoyment

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

tuesday mooney had a job investigating and finding out information to help fundraise and raise money...there were strict rules to her job with the information she found out....

vincent pryce was a self made millionaire and with his wife lyle they attended an auction...

on the day that vincent died shortly after a game was announced that had everyone taking part with the promise of untold riches...

i struggled in the beginning with this one...so many names and so much descriptive text but the actual game and what people had to do was interesting enough for me to carry on...

as the storyline continued and the people who were playing this treasure hunt were finding out bits and pieces there was also another background story that was intriguing...it was well though out but i feel things could have been condensed down a bit

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. Tuesday Mooney Wore Black (or Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts) is a fast-paced, action packed book with a scavenger hunt at its core, which I absolutely love but what I loved most was the underlining elements of friendship and grief. I felt like that really brought the book together and made it such an interesting read.

I did end up figuring out one of the plot lines but that didn’t stop me from carrying on this story and enjoying the mystery that Kate Racculia has created. I also felt like everything in this book was needed for the story to progress and there were no real filler chapters, which is always a plus in my book!

Whilst I loved the diversity of characters in this book, I found myself struggling to connect with any of them and honestly found myself not caring about their personal matters and caring more about where the hunt would lead them and what it would reveal.

Overall this was an interesting and captivating read which I recommend for those who love a good scavenger hunt.

On the surface this is a quirky story about an eccentric billionaire, a cast of flawed characters, and a treasure hunt. Just below the surface is a beautiful meditation on loss, grief and the need to belong.
I loved it!
Thank you to netgalley and Harper Collins for an advance copy of this book

Wow what a fantastic read.
I didn't expect to get so involved with this book but it drew me in right from the start.
The name Tuesday Mooney did confuse me at times in the book, but what a character, funny,witty and a little bit aloof at times but you just grow to love her.
Tuesday works for a company that finds wealthy people to invest a charity and gets involved with the mysterious Nathaniel Arches,but is he what he seems and can Tuesday figure everything out before it all goes wrong?

Think RP1 but with ghosts! A fast paced adventure with fantastic characters and a fantastic multi-layered plot. There's murder, mystery, a treasure hunt and most of all there is friendship. Some important life lessons wrapped up in a great story.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, and was hooked from the very first page.

Tuesday Mooney Wore Black is a novel about what happens an eccentric billionaire creates a game for people to try and win his fortune after his death. Tuesday Mooney is weird, a woman who wears black and works investigating donors for a hospital. She's closed off even from her closest friend Dex, who works in finance but really loves karaoke and performing. When Tuesday finds out about the game, she can't help but be drawn into the puzzle, but as well as the game, there's the mysterious eldest son of a wealthy Boston family who had a strange connection to the dead man to investigate, but who also seems to have teamed up with Tuesday to try and solve it all. Surely everyone can't find what they're looking for in the game?

The novel was a surprise, something that was a lot more fun and gripping to read than it seemed it might be. Tuesday is a notable protagonist, but it was the supporting characters—Dex, Archie, Dorry—who felt most interesting, and it was good to get insights into their lives and thoughts as the novel unfolded. The narrative follows the playing of the game, but beneath the quirky surface of the unraveling secrets and weird characters, there's an undercurrent of emotion, looking at grief, coping methods, and finding and being yourself. The writing style is light and readable, and it's the kind of book that allows you to escape into the story and characters.

Full of revelations and a literary reference game around Boston, this is a book that makes a good light read, with an enjoyable plot and characters. In some ways, it feels like it takes some of the elements of a YA novel, like character and detail, and transport them into an adult novel where the characters are still a bit lost, but just no longer as teenagers. Its quirkiness might feel a bit forced to some, but it's a good testament to people being who they want to be.

This book started off really well! I loved the treasure hunt plot and I thought it was an interesting premise. The first couple of chapters were great. I liked the idea of being able to talk to ghosts. However I just didn't connect to the characters. Tuesday was the geeky loner girl and her best friend was the gay that loves musical theatre. I like that there was diversity but I just didn't connect to the main characters. There are also a lot of other characters which was hard to keep track of, especially when I was putting it down for awhile then going back to it.
Overall it was an okay read but I didn't connect to the story as much as I'd have liked but I'm sure others will enjoy it more than me.
