Review: Southern Spirits by Angie Fox

Verity is losing her grandmother's house and the town is turned against her after she left the town golden boy at the altar.  She needs to come up with money fast.  In the meantime, she is getting rid of possessions including an odd looking vase which turns out to be an urn and the ashes she dumps in the garden lead to the ghost of a 1920s gangster, Frankie, becoming a part of her crazy life.  To get the money she agrees to exorcise (not having a clue what she is doing), the property of her ex-fiance's brother.  In investigating, she discovers an old hidden crime with current danger.  

The story was a lot of fun and quite enjoyable, if a little predictable.  The characters are interesting (except maybe her sister who will hopefully be developed more later).  AND her pet skunk, Lucy is quite charming.

A fun little cozy that was an amazon freebie.

P.S.  The name Verity makes me think of Doctor Who and Verity Lambert, without whom it might never have become what it has!
