Welcome to Teaser Tuesday hosted by Ambrosia @ The Purple Booker.
My Teaser for this week is from
Beyond Dead
An Afterlife Adventures Novel #1
by Jordaina Sydney Robinson
Genre: Paranormal / Cozy Mystery
Teaser from 5% in the eBook.
“What about you? How did you kick it?” Sabrina asked.
“I tripped.”
Sabrina whistled low. “That must have been some trip.”
“It wasn’t really the trip that killed me. It was getting hit by the bus.”
A sharp burst of laughter escaped before she clamped her hand over her mouth as several pairs of accusatory, watery eyes turned our way.
This is just part of a hilarious scene where newly dead Bridget is talking to Sabrina, another dead girl, about how she died.
Only 5% into this and I already snorted iced tea all over my Kindle. LOL

Synopsis
Dead less than twenty-four hours, with a job that doesn’t pay, a fashion disaster for a uniform and more afterlife rules than she can shake a stick at, Bridget Sway thinks it’s as bad as it can get. And then she finds a dead ghost stuffed in her locker.
Since the police are desperate to arrest her for murder, Bridget’s new best friend convinces her the only way to save herself from an eternity in prison is to solve the murder themselves.
With a handsome parole officer watching her every move, an outlaw ghost befriending her and two persistent mediums demanding her attention, solving the murder is not quite as easy as it sounds. And when “murder” turns into “murders” Bridget needs to solve the case … before she becomes the next dead body stuffed in her locker.
Beyond Dead is the first book in a paranormal cozy murder mystery series set in a ridiculously bureaucratic afterlife. It is rife with cozy humor (or more accurately cosy humour) that cozy British mysteries are famous for.
The series follows the newly dead Bridget Sway as she tries to adjust to her new life as a ghost while solving the odd murder along the way. Bridget exhibits all the best virtues of cozy mystery women sleuths in terms of wit and humor but, as the amateur sleuth of a cozy ghost mysteries series, she is something most others are not – and that’s dead.
