Pecan Pies and Dead Guys is the seventh book in Angie Fox’s Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries series. The characters are well developed and the story flows smoothly in this quickly paced paranormal cozy mystery. Excellent background information is provided, allowing the book to be read as a stand-alone.

Verity Long is able to see and communicate with ghosts, but only with the help of Frankie, the 1920s gangster ghost she managed to ground to her property in Sugarland, Tennessee. Her ex-fiancé, Beau, had given her Frankie’s urn as a gift, and she’d mistaken it for an antique vase, dumped his ashes, trapping him on her property. Frankie can’t leave the property unless Verity has his urn with her. In the beginning, Frankie had been reluctant to share his energy because if he used up too much, he’d temporarily lose body parts. Since he began dating Molly Fletcher, who passed away in the late 1800s, his energy had increased. Lucy, Verity’s pet skunk, took an instant dislike to Frankie and while he pretends he doesn’t care, she knows it bothers him. Her boyfriend, Ellis Wydell, who is the Deputy Sheriff and her ex-fiancé’s brother, is one of the few who believes in her abilities and is supportive of her helping the ghosts who need her, but concerned for her safety.

Verity has her hands full. Not only is she trying to help Ellis solve a mysterious death, convince her ex-fiancé, Beau, to go back to the law firm and give up his bizarre artwork, and figure out who’s leaving pecan pies at her house, but is also trying to help a ghost, Inspector Julien De Clercq, solve a murder at the Adair estate from the 1920s. De Clercq wants to put Frankie in prison for eternity and since Frankie is bound to Verity’s property, that’s where the prison will be if they don’t capture the culprit.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

Verity is at it again. Her and her gangster ghost buddy Frankie must help to solve a murder that happened back in the 1920s. With her sweet little skunk. and her hunky cop boyfriend, life is never dull around her. Love this series, and the author has another fun read here. Would highly recommend this book, series and author.

Thank you! :c)

I loved this book. This series keeps getting better and better. The scenes with the ghosts and their lives are the best, you would think you were really there. The mystery of what happened in 1920's mixes well with the current happenings. #PecanPiesAndDeadGuys #NetGalley

I love Verity and Frankie! I have read all the books in the series and they are all fun mysteries with great characters. It doesn't matter if you have not read the rest, you will still enjoy this book and will not feel like you have missed anything. You will want to go back and read the rest. The are quick fun reads! I received a free copy for my review and here it is, get it, read it, love it!

I received a free copy of Pecan Pies and Dead Guys (Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries Book 7) by Angie Fox in exchange for an honest review. Julian De Clercq is back, as promised. He blackmails Verity Long and her gangster ghost Frankie into helping him solve the murder of a long-ago local judge. Meanwhile, Verity’s boyfriend Ellis Wydell investigates a more-recent murder. Of course, Ellis’s brother and mother are there to cause all sorts of family drama. Additionally, an unknown person is periodically leaving Verity presents of pecan pies. Can Verity solve the cold case before the deadline? Will Beau ever let Verity go? Will Virginia perpetually blame Verity for Beau’s bad behavior? Who is breaking into Verity’s house to leave sweets? Also, as usual, will Verity survive the small-town shenanigans?

I enjoy this series and especially this book. It’s all mobsters, murderers, and mama-in-law drama. Oh, and a skunk; don’t forget the skunk. I recommend both the series and this book for those who enjoy a little silliness in their cozy mysteries.

Loved this book! This is another fun story that has Verity, along with ghost sidekick Frankie, investigating a ghostly murder from years ago. I love this series and enjoy seeing how the characters have grown and developed throughout it.

Frankie is a ghostly mobster that "lends" Verity some of his power so she can see and talk with other ghosts. That "gift" puts her in the middle of a wild party that keeps repeating every year on the ghostly plain. While tuned in to this power, she tries to solve a murder at the behest of a ghost investigator. This investigator has made her an offer that she cannot refuse in order to secure Frankie and her assistance.

This novel has an engaging plot told in a fun style and wrapped in humor. If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. While this is a stand alone novel, the series is so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

In this book Verity Long and her ghostly partner in crime, Frankie the German, must work with a dead detective or risk Frankie being incarcerated on Verity’s property for all eternity. Investigating a Gatsby-style cold case, Verity and Frankie have three nights to find the killer hiding among the partygoers.

In the land of the living, Ellis Wydell is also on the hunt for a potential killer with no clues to guide him and Beau Wydell has a dramatic change of heart, deciding he is an artist. And it wouldn’t be a day in Sugarland without Virginia Wydell threatening Verity in some way.

All in all, this may be my favourite book in the series so far, we see Verity gain a little ground with the Wydell’s, Verity and Ellis seem in their happy place, things get personal for Frankie and as always there is a cute little skunk skulking around.
