Publisher's summary

Some secrets should stay buried.

Ghost hunter Verity Long is no stranger to scandal. In fact, it seems to follow her around like her pet skunk, Lucy. But Verity is as shocked as anybody when a town relic discovered in a time capsule unleashes a torrent of secrets that lead to murder.

Trouble is, the only residents in Sugarland who know the truth behind the scandal also happen to be very dead themselves. With a killer on the loose and a town in crisis, Verity braves a side of Sugarland she's never seen before. From a booby-trapped haunted mansion to a run-in with the spirit of Sugarland's most notorious blackmailer who may hold the key to setting mob ghost Frankie free...for a price.

But when a live killer gets an inside track on Verity's investigation, will she live long enough to give up the ghost?

Great ending

A great ending to such a fun story. I couldn't put it down and I love the way the author made sure to wrap up even the tiniest little details.

Even better than the last one!

Another great read in this series and a much-needed getaway from reality with lots of laughs!
Even if you've never met Verity, Frankie the gangster ghost, local law Ellis and his horrid mother, you've still got to enjoy this! Ellis's mother calls him to a murder scene and looks guilty as sin. That starts a sequence of events originally caused by a blackmailing hairdresser, continued by her daughter who is the murder victim now. Lots of fallout on all this! Meanwhile back at Verity's home, Frankie has brought home a ghostly racehorse (and other farm animals) because he is bored. Let the madness begin!
Not an unbiased review because I absolutely love the real star of this series--Lucille Desiree Long AKA Lucy, Verity's pet skunk!
I'm not sure about stand-alone quality since I am addicted to this series, but I think that it should do.
I requested and received a free e-book copy from Moose Island Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
Now I just have to wait to get the audio! Which I now have!!!
Reasons I enjoyed this book:

Always love Angie’s books

I have every book she has written I think. She can get serious and make you laugh. Keep sharing your talent.

my favorite fun series

I usually read nonfiction, but Angie's southern ghost series is such fun, I cannot resist them. The reader is perfect, the characters well developed & evolving, and unlike many mysteries, she often surprises me with the plot twists. I only wish her fictional small TN was real so I could visit! Give this series a listen- you won't regret it!

Narration is the best!

So fun to listen to the series. Tavia Gilbert does a fantastic job representing Ms. Fox’s stories!

Great narration

Good addition to the series. Can't wait for the next one. Love Verity and Ellis. Seems like this book set up for a shift in the series arc. Narrator does a great job. Pacing and voices for the series well.
