Alice Bell's Displeasure Island
As I hoped, Grave Expectations was the start of a series, and this one was just as fun! The protagonist and her new pals decide to take a trip to a new resort on an island in Ireland, except they aren’t supposed to be there and the only other guests are a Glass Onion-esque crew of old college friends who all kind of hate each other. And of course one of them ends up dead, and their inclination is to blame the weird girl who talks to herself (well, really to ghosts—not just her friend, but the many ghosts on the island, including pirates). So she decides to solve the case (while dealing with trauma and lots of feelings)! It's a pretty solid mystery and I quite enjoyed her sleuthing. This book is also pretty funny (I loved the skeleton who’s hanging out). Can’t wait for more. A/A-.
