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
