Description from goodreads :

 Sometimes Verity Long would like to forget that she lives with the ghost of a 1920s gangster. But the reluctant housemates must once again work together when a dead detective blackmails Frankie into helping him solve a Great Gatsby-era cold case. Before she can say “bathtub gin,” Verity is dragged straight into a raging, otherworldly house party. Worse, every guest is hiding something.

Meanwhile, Ellis Wydell, Verity’s living, breathing boyfriend needs Verity’s help with a police case of his own. After a dead body is discovered near the pecan orchard, Verity gives her insights, thinking her job is done. But when mysterious pecan pies start arriving at her house, she wonders who might be thanking her… or stalking her.

Between hard-living ghosts and sugar-laden desserts, Verity has her work cut out for her. But will she uncover the secrets behind the pecan pies and dead guys? Or has she stumbled upon a recipe for disaster?

My opinion:

          This was so interesting  as we got several investigations in one and so well written to keep us on edge until the big finale. I really loved the investigation about the murder in the '20  when Verity is there it's really like we are living history  so yes there is a case to solve but i always love to see all the background as well  as Angie Fox really makes it alive and impressive.

So in real/present time Verity is trying to help her boyfriend Ellis with a strange death near an orchard not only the victim isn't from Sugarland and its identity is unknow but even her death is strange ( thus why Ellis ask Verity"s help) . If that wasn' t enough  she is confronter to her ex Beau with his new girlfriend as well as of course the devil  Virginia mother of said boys. ....it's impossible not to dislike that woman really who keeps judging Verity responsible for every action her boys takes.

Beside those " mundane" worries,  Verity find herself  trying to investigate a murder from 1928  that took place during 3 days festivities at a huge mansion now abandonned...if that 3nights limit wasn't stressful enough she must work with ghost detective that tries to solve that case since its death and he isn't helping. He came to have Frankie help but he didn't ask nicely it's either help me, succeed and you may get compensation or fail and i will torture you for eternity. Verity is just a living human, he doesn't care a  bit for her opinion and thinks of her more like a burden than anything else. However, since Verity and Frankie are stuck together  they must succeed if they want to be free  and in peace so pressure is high but risks and dangers are even bigger.

This was fabulous!!!  i do recommend you to read this in order but eventually this one could be read as stand alone still as you get info about what happened and it really focus on these investigation more than on Frankie past so it's well.

Fantastic cozy mystery to keep you entertained when it's cold outside but you will want the next book immediately after this one for sure.

Score:  4/5
