I am really enjoying the Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries. Verity Long has a way of finding trouble, and her small southern town has its fair share of drama and mystery. In this case, one that goes back several generations. It’s a good thing she has her new best-ghost-friend, Frankie, to help her out. This one gets a bit dangerous.

When Verity finds a body in the library, she begins her trip to a convoluted past full of lies. Someone killed the woman because she found out a family secret, but which family and what is the secret? But wait!! What if it isn’t just one secret? Verity has to pull the strings to unravel one heck of a historical coverup – and she couldn’t have done it without Frankie.

To complicate things a bit more, there’s a station filming a documentary about the town’s most famous battle. Verity’s almost mother-in-law is heading the charge to make the town famous and won’t let anything stand in her way.

I loved visiting some past ghosts from book one, meeting a few really nice new ones, and watching Frankie’s antics as he tries to unground himself from Verity’s house. Lots of great banter, some dangerous situations, and a mystery solved in a very clever way. Highly recommend this series.



Title: The Skeleton in the Closet (Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries #2)
Author: Angie Fox
Genre: Paranormal, Cozy Mystery


A haunted library is no place for a girl who can see ghosts, but when Verity Long stumbles on a dead body in the middle of the main reading room, she has to believe someone… even a dead someone… must have witnessed the crime. 

Her ghostly sidekick Frankie warns her to stay out of it. The very alive, very handsome deputy sheriff, Ellis Wydell, inadvertently places her directly in the middle of it. And her ex-fiancé, Ellis’s brother, is back with an agenda of his own. 

Undaunted, Verity presses forward, uncovering scandalous secrets, long-forgotten ghosts, and a shocking trail of clues that places her directly in the path of a killer.
