Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Angie Fox, the first book in the new Southern Ghost Hunter mysteries.

One simple mistake, for a girl who is about to lose her family home, releases the ghost of a long-dead gangster and opens Verity Long's eyes to a whole new world.

When out-of-work graphic designer Verity Long accidentally traps a ghost on her property, she's saddled with more than a supernatural sidekick - she gains the ability to see spirits. It leads to an offer she can't refuse from the town's bad boy, the brother of her ex and the last man she should ever partner with. Ellis Wyatt is in possession of a stunning historic property haunted by some of Sugarland, Tennessee's finest former citizens. Only some of them are growing restless - and destructive. He hires Verity to put an end to the disturbances.

But soon Verity learns there's more to the mysterious estate than floating specters, secret passageways, and hidden rooms. There's a modern-day mystery afoot, one that hinges on a decades-old murder. Verity isn't above questioning the living or the dead. But can she discover the truth before the killer finds her?

Histrionic narrator

While the story was decent, despite some ridiculous (but par for the cozy mystery course) plot elements, the narrator nearly ruined it for me. I suspect she is a love or loathe narrator, and I am definitely on the loathe side. It took me several tries over the course of as many months to finally get into this book, and only then because I had listened to everything else in my library. Her histrionic, over-the-top performance will keep me from buying anything else narrated by her.

Ghost everywhere

One day you are having to leave your family home because of your cheating fiance and next you meet a ghost all because you decided to use some old ashes to feed your roses. Now you get involve with your ex;s brother to help get rid of ghost. This was my first book by Angie Fox. I loved this book. I know i get more of these.

Refreshing!

This book was like opening a little gift. I love how refreshing and funny it was. I highly recommend it to anyone! The narrator was perfect!

fine fluff

Shallow, but a perfectly passable bit of fluff. It was readable, entertaining and I liked the main character just fine. I did have a bit of trouble believing she'd have taken all the blame and financial penalty of calling off the wedding and not told anyone the horrible things her ex did. And the fact that the new love interest was so involved with the ex's family really marred it for me. How would that work? Really? And it's worth noting that the blurb calls hims "the town's bad boy," but he's an ex-Marine cop. About as far from bad as you can get in a cozy, paranormal mystery. All in all however, I'd read more by Fox and Tavia Gilbert did a fine job with the narration.

Southern Spirits

This is my first book by Angie Fox & I like this series. Looks like I’ve found a new series to follow.

This book had everything

Enjoyed this story it had laughter, love, hate, murder, and mystery. It described a small town behavior most accurately.

Witty Paranormal Mystery

Light & enjoyable this story moves at a swift pace featuring characters you can identify with in addition to the paranormal
element. Humor & fun coexist with suspense & murder. Add in a touch of
romance and it's a series I look forward to
following.

A wonderful story

I can’t wait to read more of this series! Verity is a wonderful down to earth character you can’t help but love.
