Synopsis (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.Thoughts on Pecan Pies and Dead Guys: Verity and her ghost-seeing (-ish) ways are back and she's neck deep in another dangerous mystery. Dangerous because, you know, the ghosties can do real bodily harm to her when she's plugged in to their realm.
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?
A warm and witty paranormal cozy mystery!
But let's not worry about little things like that, shall we? Let's focus on the more pleasant parts. Like her hunky boyfriend Ellis who is probably the most supportive person ON THE PLANET. I mean, the guy not only deals admirably with the fact Verity was once engaged to his brother, but he also doesn't bat an eye when Verity needs him to drive a getaway vehicle from ghostly shenanigans.
Considering he's a cop, that says a lot about him. (In a good way. A totally good, supportive of his girlfriend's ability to see things he can't way. Because the way I wrote that was like he was a bad cop who was down with driving getaway vehicles and that's not what I was getting at AT ALL. He's just down with saving his honey from murderous ghosts and other things that go bump in the night. AS ONE SHOULD BE.)
Bottom line: I still like Verity and all her quirks. Ellis is awesome. The ghosts all have their issues. Man, I like this series.
