Description: Verity Long doesn't want to see ghosts, and she'd rather not let anyone know her little secret, either. But when a restless spirit stirs up trouble in her friend's resale shop, Verity and her very new, very dead gangster friend team up to learn what is really happening.
They discover an age-old secret and must learn the truth behind a mysterious disappearance…before it's too late.
My Thoughts: The next installment of the Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries is a very short novella with Verity and Frankie investigating some paranormal disturbances at a vintage resale shop. Verity isn’t sure if working with ghosts is something she wants or is cut out for. Her boyfriend, Ellis would likely have a problem with it. So, she doesn’t tell him and even Frankie isn’t that enthusiastic about this assignment either.
During her initial investigation, Verity meets the ghost of a WWII soldier who is looking for the woman he planned to marry when he returned from the war. Unfortunately, he never returned and he cannot find her on either the immortal plane of existence or on Earth. He is desperate for Verity to find her and tell her he always loved her and still does. The ring he gave to her has been sold to the resale shop and he wants Verity to give it back to her.
This story was very short and I paired the reading with the audio which was narrated by Tavia Gilbert. As with the first book in this series, she does an excellent job bringing all the personalities of the various characters to life. This story is packed full of action despite its short length and the only issue I had with this story is that Lucy, Verity’s pet skunk, does not make an appearance.
My Final Verdict: This story got me a little misty eyed and I always love a happily ever after, even for ghosts. I highly recommend this book to fans of cozy mysteries and ghosts
