This book was so much fun. It is loaded with interesting characters that make up a fun, and charming world. It was a blast from start to finish and I totally enjoyed it.

Favorite Quote that pretty much sums up how it all starts Listen, Doll, Frankie said his tone softening a hair. When your great-uncle so-and-so dies, theres a reason you scatter his ashes. You scatter, he said making a motion like he was feeding birds or something. You let them catch the wind. You give the spirit freedom if he wants it. His voice grew tight. You dont dump them all in one spot then stomp on em.

Verity is a down on her luck graphic designer from Sugarland Tennessee who gets in a little over her head when she leaves her ex-fiancé Beau Wydell at the altar. Beau happens to be the most eligible bachelor in three counties, and from a very prominent Sugarland family. After being sued by Mrs. Leland Herworth Wydell III for every dime she has left to pay for the scandal that was supposed to be their wedding Verity owes more than $20,000. While cleaning out her house to get the money she inadvertently lets loose the ghost of Beaus uncle a 1920s gangster named Frankie, and grounds him to her ancestral home. Saddled with a ghost, and no money in the hopes of keeping her house Verity takes a job for her exs brother black sheep Ellis Wydell. She is charged with the job of cleaning out a violent spirit from the restaurant that Ellis happens to be remodeling. Many hijinks ensue during the book which culminates in Ellis and Verity being embroiled in a decades old murder mystery. Will they solve they be able to solve mystery, and move the ghost on before the murder catches them!

I totally recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Mrs. Foxs work, and who also likes cozy mysteries of a ghostly nature. I cant wait to read the next book in this series.

*I received this book from the Author in return for my honest review. I received no other money, or goodie bag just the book so that I could form an opinion. That in no way changes my opinions of this book.*
