Southern Spirits

Pure fun ghostly mystery with a surprise twist to “Who done it.”

Great book can’t wait to read the others now. It’s a lot like bobby Fay

Very light and easy

I read this in a day. Enjoyable, fun book with a witty main character. 4.7/5⭐️

It's the middle of November, and of the 44 novels I've read this year, Angie Fox's are my absolute favorites. I'm so thankful I discovered her. This book gives all the feels from laugh-out-loud funny to nail-biting-nervousness. It's the kind of book that haunts you until you can finish it. Dinner can wait. The laundry can wait. Verity's story must be read immediately. I highly recommend this book!!!

This is the first time I have read a book by this author but it won't be the last! I am OCD when it comes to grammar errors and there was not one! You would have to be OCD like me to understand how disruptive it is to try reading a novel with grammar errors.

Very entertaining! Funny and keeps one on edge at other times! Paranormal mystery with subtle romance! Great plot - keeps on tract. My first book by this author. Will read more - am new fan.

I’m not sure why I put off reading The Haunted Heist for so long. I guess I just wasn’t in the mood for a cozy mystery? Regardless, I felt guilty staring at it in my NetGalley queue, so I bit the bullet and started reading. This is the third in a series and I haven’t read any of the previous books. Unfortunately for me, that meant the first chapter was full if info dumping to catch me up on what I missed in books 1 and 2. I read 99% of this book via text-to-speech (aka, listening to a semi-robotic voice read to me while I did other things, like exercise or fold laundry). Text-to-speech is great for multitasking, but I know I missed some things along the way, but it didn’t hurt the story for me. I like the main character, Verity Long. She doesn’t want to have the ghost of an old mobster hanging around, but she’s stuck with him. (I’d have to go read the first books to find out exactly why, see the paragraph above!) The ghost, Frankie, was a blast. Seriously, his questionable morals and zero filter made the book. This story revolves around Verity trying to get a job doing marketing work for the bank, but instead she finds herself at a crime scene. Sounds like this is something that happens to her fairly regularly. I loved the subplot with sexy cop Ellis—and his overbearing mother who hates her. Apparently, Verity was supposed to marry Ellis’s brother, but she left him. It sounds like their Facebook relationship status should be ‘It’s Complicated’ because it is. But they’re soooon cute together! So, basically, after a rocky start, I enjoyed this story full of southern charm and ghosts. I was never completely hooked, but as I said above, I just haven’t been in the mood for a cozy mystery, so I think that detracted from some of the enjoyment for this book. If you’re into cozy mysteries, go pick up this series. It’s a cute, quick read, and book one is currently FREE at the time of this review posting.

Great series!!!!

Enjoyed this lighthearted story. Ghosts, mystery and a little romance all tied up in a cute bow. Good read.
