Verity Long is back and she can’t help but get embroiled in a mystery even on a train. Verity and Ellis need to get away from it all so they plan a romantic getaway aboard the Sugarland Express. Gangster ghost Frankie cons his way aboard with his latest flame Molly. You would think they would be safe from mystery but they manage to get involved in not one but two mysteries. Each will captivate your attention and keep you guessing. This is a fantastic addition to the series.

Angie does it again. This book pays respect too the Oriental Express just in a paranormal way. Verity and Ellis can't catch a break, not from family, ghost or murder. This is a fast paced ride that will have hanging onto your sits because the Sugarland Land Express is ready to leave the station, with the living the dead and murderer or two. I appreciated the closer between two of the main characters and the ghost murder mystery was woven in beautifully with murder that took place in present.

In the 6th book of Angie Fox's Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries, Verity Long and her boyfriend, Ellis, decide to take an overdue vacation and leave family and ghosts behind to take a train ride through the Tennessee mountains on the maiden ride of the replica of the Sugarland Express. One hundred years ago, the original Sugarland Express had a murder but before any investigation could be done, the train met with disaster and everyone on board plunged to their deaths when the train derailed over a bridge into water.

Verity's plans for alone time with Ellis fall apart when Frankie insists on coming along. Once on board, Verity finds that it's not only Frankie and his girlfriend Molly, but the ghosts of those who perished on the initial run. When history repeats itself, Verity and Ellis must find the killer of the current murder before the train and everyone on it, meets the same tragic end of those in the past.

I love all the books in this series, but I have to say, this one is my favorite. Fun characters and great plotting and story line will keep your interest and keep you up late at night. I definitely recommend this book to all who love cozies with the paranormal element in it.

Verity's at it again! This time while she's supposed to be on vacation. You know how it goes, though. When a lady can see ghosts, she gets drawn into some pretty wacky scenarios.

Plus, people keep trying to kill her. But hey! That happens to the best of us, right?

I'm going to take a second here to point out that Verity might be somewhat cursed (for lack of a better word) by Frankie's ghost and her ability to interact with the spirit world, but poor Ellis has to put up with his spoiled younger brother CONSTANTLY trying to get back together with his woman. While Ellis's mother is (somewhat) getting better when it comes to his and Verity's relationship, Beau is just the world's biggest jerkface. The guy seriously needs to find a hobby because his obsession with getting Verity back is NOT COOL, MAN. NOT COOL AT ALL.

The mystery of what happened on the train all those years ago is intriguing. The parallel mystery in the present is just as exciting. Death! Murder! Mayhem! And so many secrets. Everyone has a few, right? And Verity and Ellis have to ferret them out before anyone else ends up dead.

I like this series. It makes me grin and I have the biggest soft spot for how quick Ellis is to trust Verity and the crazy things she ends up in the middle of.

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I rate this book at 3.75. I have read and enjoyed Angie Fox before. I have not read any of this series. I do not feel it reads well as a stand alone. There is to much missing information, it is a bit confusing. I finished the book and the story is cute. It is an easy quick read.

Verity rides the Orient Express Angie Fox style!! When Verity and Ellis try (And I mean try and do not succeed) to get away on a much needed romantic excursion it results in murder. Frankie the mobster ghost and his new squeeze tag along and lend a hand in a train ride murder that mirrors one that reflects itself from the past. Never enough Lucy but still love Fox's world of romance, crime drama, and ghosts. "A copy of this book was provided by Moose Island Books via NetGalley with no requirements for a review. Comments here are my honest opinion." Easy, Quick read which I am not sure if it would be a stand-alone since I have been reading from the start.
