Publisher Description
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?
Customer Reviews
A fun, and funny, murder mystery that will keep you turning the pages
The southern ghost hunter series is a long-standing favourite of mine, so I was very excited to read Give Up the Ghost, the 11th book. I was not disappointed!
This time around, the trouble is caused when an item is removed from the time capsule that could reveal scandal for many of the residents of Sugarland. It doesn’t take long for things to turn nasty, and Verity ends up helping an unexpected person!
I really love this series, it’s always such a joy to come back to a collection of characters that I enjoy so much. As always, the story is full of humour, as well as a cracking murder mystery plot. Frankie really winds up Verity in this one, and it’s hilarious (and involves cute animals).
I really enjoyed finding out a bit more about Virginia Wydell and her history, it definitely adds context to the way she behaves. Oh, and there’s a development on the Frankie front too (all I can say without spoilers).
Overall, this was another excellent book in a favourite series - a fun, and funny, murder mystery that will keep you turning the pages.
