About this listen

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?

Great ending

A great ending to such a fun story. I couldn't put it down and I love the way the author made sure to wrap up even the tiniest little details.

Variety and Frankie are at it again

Variety and Frankie are at it again. This adventure has everything in from goats to time capsules. A humorous and intriguing read for paranormal mystery lovers.
I can't wait to see what happens next.

Even better than the last one!

pet, skunk, situational-humor, ghost-hunting, ghosts, cozy-mystery, small-town, gossip, law-enforcement, family, family-dynamics, friendship, gangsters, verbal-humor, paranormal, series, extortion, entitled-attitude, bullies*****

Another great read in this series and a much-needed getaway from reality with lots of laughs!
Even if you've never met Verity, Frankie the gangster ghost, local law Ellis and his horrid mother, you've still got to enjoy this! Ellis's mother calls him to a murder scene and looks guilty as sin. That starts a sequence of events originally caused by a blackmailing hairdresser, continued by her daughter who is the murder victim now. Lots of fallout on all this! Meanwhile back at Verity's home, Frankie has brought home a ghostly racehorse (and other farm animals) because he is bored. Let the madness begin!
Not an unbiased review because I absolutely love the real star of this series--Lucille Desiree Long AKA Lucy, Verity's pet skunk!
I'm not sure about stand-alone quality since I am addicted to this series, but I think that it should do.
I requested and received a free e-book copy from Moose Island Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
Now I just have to wait to get the audio! Which I now have!!!
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Entertaining Great world building Original Page-turner Unpredictable Witty Wonderful characters

my favorite fun series

I usually read nonfiction, but Angie's southern ghost series is such fun, I cannot resist them. The reader is perfect, the characters well developed & evolving, and unlike many mysteries, she often surprises me with the plot twists. I only wish her fictional small TN was real so I could visit! Give this series a listen- you won't regret it!

3.5 Stars

Give Up the Ghost is book 11 of the Southern Ghost Hunter Mystery series. This book picked up where book 10 ended, at the opening of the time capsule. While this book was enjoyable, it was not one of my favorites from the series. I really dislike Virginia Wydell from her behavior in all of the previous books, so having her in most of this book was a lot. It was interesting to learn more about Virginia, though, and get a little of an understanding for why she is the way she is.

I was so annoyed with Ellis. How is he such a doormat and a pushover when it comes to his mother? It got kind of pathetic. I usually like him and I like him and Verity together but in this book he was ridiculous.

Another thing that put me off was just how much Duranja dislikes Verity. He is in a relationship with Verity’s sister, Melody, and he is friends with Ellis. The fact that he goes out of his way to show how much he doesn’t like Verity and is always trying to find any excuse to arrest her, doesn’t work. It’s over the top.

I really liked all of the stuff with Frankie and the progress with working toward one day ungrounding him from Verity’s house. Lucy, the skunk, was awesome, as always! The ending of this book was great. Seeing Verity’s home come back together was nice.

The narration was great. I love Tavia’s voices in this series and she does such a wonderful job bringing the story and characters to life.

I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I can’t get enough of these books. I am giving this book 3.5 stars overall.
