Twelve Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death
A dark comedy about how to live your best life, even when you're dead.
Stacey was trying to live her best life, but now she’s dead. But why hasn't she passed on? Could it be her fatal car accident is actually murder?
Detectives Ed Beaufontaine and Rose Garafino have a long list of suspects, chief among them Stacey's fiancé, Liam. His business dealings and new relationship with Emily Jackson are raising a few eyebrows. As the detectives dig deeper, so does Stacey. With nothing but time on her hands, she forensically examines her past relationships – her pathological ex, unreliable father, controlling psychologist, and toxic girlfriends – realising she might have been better off without them. She's hoping she can steer the detectives in the right direction before she's doomed to wander for eternity. Because in the city of angels and 12 step programs, even the dead need a little help from time to time.

12 Steps To A Long And Fulfilling Death has a great concept and a fantastic cast of everyone-sucks-here characters, but the jerky pacing and predictable outcomes made for an uneven reading experience.

This was absolutely ridiculous and also terrible. Way too much going on and most of it took way too long to play out. I was equal parts bored, and disbelieving, but not amused. A shame.

Such a fun murder mystery! This was exactly the book I needed when I picked it up and I binged it in a lazy Sunday resting my knee. It is a lighter book considering it is about a murder, but so easy to keep reading and picture it all happening.
Stacey is living her best life in Los Angeles…. 28 years old, a loving fiancée, great friends, a business that is thriving, what more could she want. Well, she would like to not be dead. A car accident on Mullholland Drive has taken her life suddenly… but was it an accident? And why is Stacey still here, watching everything happening. She is there when her fiancée sees he body, when the autopsy is done, at her own funeral. The detectives on the case are seeing that things were not so rosy in Stacey’s life, and that her friends are all hiding something.
I loved the dark humour and watching Stacey see her life for what it really was. Her powers as a ghost were so fun, and made me laugh when I really needed one.
Twelve Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death by Sarah Smith is out in Australia on August 2nd. Thank you so much to Ultimo Press and Benson Publicity for my advanced copy, and the fun cards to go with it.

"If Stacey had known she was going to die on Friday night, she might have done things differently.”
Stacey was living her best life until the moment she realised she was dead.
Detectives have a long list of suspects from Stacey’s fiancé Liam, his new colleague Emily, her best friend, family, therapist and ex boyfriend. As the detectives dig deeper Stacey realises that she was probably better off without them.
It’s a race against the clock to figure out who did it before she’s gone forever. The truth will be the only thing that can set her free.
It’s stores now and for drama filled mystery lovers. What a great debut novel.

Twelve Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death is a debut and a wonderfully entertaining and dark quirky read by Aussie author Sarah Smith who is one of Australia’s most experienced TV drama writers and showrunners.
Stacey is dead but she is stuck somewhere in between (wait for the twist) watching the events following her death, is it because of the way she died, she can’t quite remember!
This is an excellent murder mystery where there are multiple suspects including her fiancé, her ex, friends and therapist. As Stacey’s murder is investigated she herself examines her life and relationships.
Can Stacey help push the detectives in the right direction? Loved how she was trying to make things happen with her ghost abilities.
I felt vibes of the movie Ghost in this story, loved the twists and the LA setting! I felt for Stacey and what happened to her. I loved trying to work out who the murderer was and piecing everything together and enjoyed the lively style of this book.

This book is a lot of fun, if murder can be described as fun. The only exertion that may be required of the reader is to let go of a disbelief in ghosts.
But stories about the afterlife are rarely about that. Reading the book I could not see why Stacey was so messed up. But there is a reason and it is revealed for the reader in good time.
This lighthearted book is really about some pretty big thorny issues such as guilt (not in the legal sense), karma, redemption and making a wrong good, or at least a bit better.
The writer does all this without lecturing to the reader, it never really becomes bogged down. Stacey isn’t a bad person, but she had the life she helped to create and she does make things better in the end. In some ways this journey is much more important than ‘who dunnit’.
A fun satisfying read.

Twelve Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death is an intriguing, quirky debut from Australian screenwriter Sarah Smith.
“If Stacey had known she was going to die on Friday night she might have done things differently.”
Stacey is livid when she arrives home to find Emily Jackson in her kitchen, and her fiancé Liam giving her the cold shoulder. Liam knows how much Stacey dislikes his ‘business consultant’, but he looks straight through her when she demands answers. It takes a while before Stacey realises that Liam can’t hear her, because Stacey is dead. She doesn’t remember why her car careened off Mulholland Drive, but Stacey realises she needs answers if she wants to move on.
Something about the accident scene raises suspicion for Detectives Ed Beaufontaine and Rose Garafino, who begin to investigate the possibility of foul play. Smith puts multiple suspects in the frame, among them Stacey’s fiancé, her best friends, a violent ex, and even her therapist. It makes for a twisty mystery as possible motives are uncovered and hard truths revealed, the plot definitely kept me guessing.
Stacey is stunned not only by what she learns about her family and friends, but herself, as she lingers in the ether. To be honest, few of the characters in Twelve Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death are likeable. Alive, Stacey was self-involved and petty, and those around her generally not that much better. I thought Stacey’s slow process of self realisation was well done as Smith touched on themes such as grief, guilt, betrayal, and redemption.
The story is well paced, with chapters shifting between the past and present. Smith ably balances poignant moments with dark humour.
A slick and entertaining read about life after death, I enjoyed Twelve Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death a lot.

"It took a little while for Stacey to realise she was dead. She felt aimless and lost but that was not uncommon"
Stacey is a self absorbed 28 year old who finds herself a ghost after being murdered. She has ghost amnesia and can't remember who killed her and why.
In life Stacey was engaged to the super handsome Liam whom Stacey believed was cheating on her.
Her friends Justine and Tamara are little better, they're toxic and competitive both before Stacey's death and after.
As Stacey watches her family and friends the days and weeks after her death, she finally see's things as they truly are and realises there are a few suspects in her death.
Stacey and her friends are an unlikable bunch of characters but as the story goes on you start to feel for Stacey as she has a sadness that she managed to hide well.
This is an original story, well written, witty in parts, although the characters were annoying. It also has an interesting side story of Beaufontaine, a police dectective that l enjoyed.

Thank you Ultimo Press for sending us a copy to read and review.
Does it take death to examine the intricacies and errors of your life?
A quirky, dark humoured and enlightening journey is on offer in this cleverly written mystery.
Stacey was living what she thought was a great life until it ended abruptly by a car accident.
Stuck in limbo she can see a new perspective on the life she lived and the people she chose to share it with.
An investigation led by two formidable detectives sheds light on suspicion and soon suspects are on the drawing board.
The author cleverly touches on themes of guilt, redemption and betrayal and I appreciated using the 12 step program concept .
This book was destined to be set in the USA and it worked well.
It was twisty, it was entertaining and a little reflective.
Once I got into the headspace she was dead I enjoyed the concept.

Nice concept. Not sure about the execution. Was a fun little audiobook to listen to but I also fell asleep for like 30% of the book and I didn't miss anything.

I loved this AND it kept me guessing right up to the final pages!
Australian author Sarah Smith has crafted an intriguing mystery with a twist.
At first glance Stacey seems to have life sorted out, everything a young woman in Los Angeles should have: A growing business styling houses, nice house shared with her fiance, good friends... but then Stacey dies. Was it a car accident? Was it murder?
As detectives Beaufontaine and Garafino investigate they discover that Stacey's life was not as picture perfect as it seems. At the same time Stacey suddenly realises that maybe death isn't as straightforward as she always assumed. For a start she is still here...witnessing her fiance, friends and parents react to her death. Stacey isn't sure why she is still hanging around but she knows she has to try to work out what happened to her or she's going to be stuck here.
Dark humour and Stacey's apparent ditziness make this fascinating from the start, and as the plot reveals more of Stacey's life it only becomes more fascinating as Stacey examines everyone in her life and faces what is really keeping her here.
If you want a great mystery to keep you guessing the whole way through this is the book for you!

i fully expected this to be average at best but am very pleasantly surprised! a nice cozy relaxing vibe considering it's a murder mystery. you hate all the possible suspect characters which makes it fun, though the pacing left a bit to be desired

12 Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death by Sarah Smith is an enjoyable read combining a homicide investigation with the spirit of the dead also actively engaged in solving the crime. Stacey’s life looks good on paper but she is troubled. Her marriage is faltering, her friendships are waning, her ex is causing grief and her conscience is bringing up past misdeeds. When she is found dead the police are suspicious. Who benefits from her death? Stacey also needs answers to move into the afterlife.
As the investigation progresses the police find that more than one person is a suspect. There are twists to the plot as her past is slowly revealed and her insecurities are deemed real and not imagination. There is humour subtly woven into this interesting tale. As Stacey increases her supernatural abilities to influence the outcome of the investigations and reach an ending to the case, the reader is totally rapt in the story.
A very good debut novel.

Twelve Steps to a Long and Fulfilling Death is a fun premise that is pretty much what it says on the tin. Stacey is dead. She's not sure how it happened, but the police think it's murder. At first, you think perhaps that Stacey was chasing drama in her life, but after a while, as you get to know her friends, family, and her life in Los Angeles, you start to wonder if there was anyone she could actually trust while alive.
The cast of characters were interesting to get to know (although having characters called Judith, Julia, and Justine was confusing) and I particularly enjoyed the depths to detective Ed Beaufontaine. I enjoyed how realistic this ghost story managed to feel, with the glitzy grimy Los Angeles back drop and a cast of skeptics. This had a cracking good pace, using ante- and post-mortem chapters to add to the story, though it was inconvenient that Stacey just couldn't remember what had happened. It was interesting to learn how she had grown into a life so fraught with insecurity.
This debut was fun, unique, and had the kind of satisfying plot twists that titillate rather irritate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I really enjoyed this murder mystery story; it is written in such a light-hearted way which makes it such an enjoyable read. Usually, these books are so predictable in who murdered who but in this story I was shocked when the final perp was found.
The story follows Stacey 2 chapters before the ‘accident’ and then while she is in the spirit world witnessing the events unfold, realizing she is dead, seeing who says what during interviews, etc.
Parts of the story especially where she finds out she was in an accident were rather humour as it was written like Stacey was genuinely shocked and confused and then put the pieces together while the reader was already aware that she was.

i really enjoyed this book ! sarah smith’s writing was really easy to read and simple enough to literally fly through. although nothing super crazy happened within the main part of the book, it did well with character building. the way the author was able to explain stacey as a character was so straight forward and made sense with every action that was made.
the ending was a bit predictable, but it still left me feeling really satisfied and i felt like the story was complete.
overall i really did enjoy this book !
a solid 4/5 stars from me ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 stars

This book was such a delight! I absolutely breezed through it.
The story revolves around Stacey, an emotionally unstable and often-betrayed 28-year-old, and her untimely death. The reader sits with Stacey both ante and post-mortem to try and figure out what, exactly, happened to her.
This book explores some naturally dark themes - obsession, death, potential murder, jealousy - but does it all in a way which feels light and simple to read, rather than heavy.
This is a perfect beach read on a hot summer’s day. I will definitely reach for this again.

I really enjoyed this book!!
There were so many twists and turns, most of which I saw coming but I still really enjoyed the journey.
I don’t usually read thrillers/mystery novels so this was a fun change of pace. Would recommend to a low-stakes murder mystery seeking friend.
Please check TWs, this book contains content that may be distressing to some people.

yeah this was fun, or as fun as a homicide could be! there were plenty of interesting twists and turns to keep me invested, and i really love the idea of a ghost watching their murder being solved in real time. nothing too earth-shattering, a good holiday book, but tended to drag a little in the middle.

I received an ARC of this book in enchange for an honest review from Better Reading.
Fantastic debut release! The best way I can describe it is The Closer x Ghost Whisperer, and I was enthralled! Perfect one-sitting mystery to spend the day with.

Interesting concept. I liked the paranormal journey of Stacey. This book is described as a ‘black comedy’. Not sure about the comedy part. I guessed who did it about two-thirds the way through. It was an enjoyable read. Loved the scenes where the paranormal interacted with the living.

This was such a brilliant dark comedy of awful characters. Stacy trying to solve her own murder while she can’t remember who killed her and slowly remembers the events of the night, things she repressed from her past and haunting her fiancés new girlfriend that moved in a week after she died. It was fun and I really enjoyed it as an audiobook on a long drive.

I like this more than I thought I would? It was like a those random YouTube mashup uploads of songs that don't work together but it turns out okay? Like no body, no crime (representing the crime genre), Should've Been Me (representing the existential and accusatory elements of the lit fic genre) and something Hozier (representing the odd supernatural elements). I know those songs don't make sense nor do they actually capture this book but like that was what I was thinking in the moment.
Also maybe it's because I took 3 unit english in school (sometimes my grammatical errors do not accurately demonstrate this) but the foreshadowing was a little too obvious at times?

Started as a really fun dark comedy, but dragged out too much

Was okay, disliked all the characters except the detectives. Nice twist at the end but kind of predictable.

A light, easy-to-read mystery and although I did figure out who had done it before the end, I still enjoyed it.
