Sweet Tea and Spirits

246 pages
Fiction/Mystery
Verity Long isn’t part of Sugarland, Tennessee’s high society (just ask her skunk, Lucy!), so why has the new head of the Sugarland Historical Museum invited her to become a member? The new head of the museum becomes Verity’s new client, and she needs Verity to investigate some odd happenings going on at the group’s historic headquarters. The ghosts in town are talking murder, there’s a new dead body in town, and Verity needs the help of her ghost buddy and gangster Frankie. Of course, help from Deputy Sheriff Ellis Wydell is expected. However, now Verity is in the eyesight of the killer!
I’ve read the whole series (Southern Ghost Hunters) and can hardly wait for the next one. This one is just as good as the rest! Verity is smart and sassy, and her ghost helper is a hoot (Frankie was – and is – a 1930s gangster that Verity accidentally trapped on her property). There is humor, violence (not extreme), ghostly doings, romance and, of course, it all takes place in Sugarland, Tenn. What more do you need for a good read than ghosts, murder, sass and the South?
