The pair have been friends since before Sophie went missing when they were seventeen. Everyone else is convinced Sophie simply ran away, but Claire knows the truth. Claire knows Sophie was murdered because Sophie has been haunting her ever since. Despite this traumatic past, Claire and Sophie are still unprepared for what they encounter when they arrive at the manor: a ghost, tragic and unrecognizable, and clearly the spirit of someone killed in a rage at the previous year's party. Given her obsession with crime shows-not to mention Sophie's ability to walk through walls-Claire decides they're the best people to solve the case. And with the help of the only obviously not-guilty members of their host family-sexy ex-policeman Sebastian and far-too-cool non-binary teen Alex-they launch an investigation into which of last year's guests never escaped the manor's grounds. What follows is somewhat irregular detective work involving stealing a priest's cassock, getting too drunk to remember to question your suspect, and of course, Chekhov's sparkly purple dildo. As Claire desperately tries to keep a lid on the shameful secret that would definitely alienate her new friends, the gang must race against their own incompetence to find the murderer before the murderer finds them"--. $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mystery $0 (DLC)sh 85089341 650 0 $a Crime $0 (DLC)sh 85033993 650 0 $a Ghosts $0 (DLC)sh 85054821 650 0 $a Paranormal fiction $0 (DLC)sh 98004865 650 0 $a Supernatural $0 (DLC)sh 85130630 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories $0 (DLC)sh 85037260 650 7 $a Nonbinary $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut7990133499841400 650 7 $a LGBT $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut6605335539607700 650 7 $a LGBTQ $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut6605408372299000 650 7 $a LGBTQ+ $2 local $0 (local)tlcaut6605365429994300 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Queer fiction. $0 (OCoLC)fst02061049 $2 tlcgt 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Detective fiction. $2 tlcgt 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bell, Alice. $t Grave expectations $d New York : Vintage Books, 2023 $z 9780593470640 $w (DLC) 2022057298 941 $a 11 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20240614011845.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20240220010745.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119021054.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20240118010413.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20231216010121.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20231205011316.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231005013400.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231005011038.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231005010449.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231003012015.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230908010210.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=04A2C3684E0D11EEB27AAEFD5AECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b QW8Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
