A Ghostly Murder
By Tonya Kappes
Here’s an
amateur mystery sleuth who believes in justice for all, even the ghostly. Emma
Lee Raines has discovered that she is able to see and talk with ghosts. These spirits who are visiting her are “Betweeners”
who are unable to “cross over” because they’ve got unfinished business. As mortals, they were murdered and their
murderers have not been found and brought to justice, yet. But now Emma Lee has been persuaded to
investigate.
In this
novel, part of the Ghostly Southern Mysteries series, someone killed Mamie Sue
Preston, the richest woman of Sleepy Hollow, Kentucky. She was a hypochondriac and when she died everyone
thought she’d finally succumb from a real illness. Now it looks like it was murder, and Mamie
herself is telling Emma Lee her own theories and suspects. But Emma Lee is turning up some interesting
clues of her own. Others in the town
have their own motives for trying to misdirect evidence and frame certain town
residents. The twists are ingenious, and
it all heats up when our amateur sleuth teams up with boyfriend Sheriff Jack
Henry Ross, who is an exciting Southern gentleman, and can be less than
enthusiastic about these other-worldly connections.
The settings
for this series are the delightful small towns of the South, specifically in
Kentucky. The beautiful scenery is
vividly described and plays a role in the plotting. The cast of characters are such fun, leaving
you feeling that y’all have enjoyed a charming vacation away.
