Synopsis (Goodreads):
For Southern girl Verity Long, friendship means sitting down to stories and sweet tea on the front porch. For her gangster ghost housemate, it means dragging Verity out to a remote haunted asylum during a raging thunderstorm to do a favor for a long-dead mob boss.Thoughts on The Mint Julep Murders: I get such a kick out of Verity and the ghostly situation she found herself in when she dumped Frankie's ashes in her rosebush. Her life was a mess and she took that mess and managed to make something from it. It's still not perfect, but she's found her niche and she's working it HARD.
But Verity is always ready to help out a friend, even one as eternally eccentric as Frankie. And in the case of Mint Julep Manor, the stakes are too high to refuse. The criminally insane mob boss holds a secret to Frankie’s past, one that might set Frankie free. Do the favor—survive the favor—and they might change Frankie’s afterlife for good. Fail, and they might never leave the asylum.
AND THE SETTING ON THIS ONE. Have I ever mentioned I like me some haunted asylums? Those places are equal parts sad and creepy and yesssssssss to the ghosties. They all have stories to tell and some of them aren't all bad. It's just the ones who are, you know, homicidal both in the before and the after that are the issue.
Anywho. Verity. Ghosts. Ghost hunters. An owner looking to make a quick buck on the misfortunes of those trapped in the building. And Ellis. I have to say, I'm not sure where things are heading with those two. I adore them together (partially because dating the brother of an ex-fiance seems so bold, but also because they're pretty darn sweet together), but I can also see how Verity's propensity for getting into tough situations could wear on a relationship. To be fair, though, it's not like Ellis's chosen profession is entirely danger-free. So I guess they're going to have to figure things out.
Heck, Verity kind of worked things out with Mama Wydell, so she can handle this. I hope.
