chez_jaeSince I had a nap yesterday, I was too wired to go to bed at a decent hour. As a result, I polished off A Ghostly Demise, the third book in Tonya Kappes' "Ghostly Southern Mystery" series.
When Emma Lee runs into Cephus Hardy at the deli, she's surprised to see he's back in town after five years. She's even more surprised to discover that Cephus is dead, and she's the only one who can see him. Cephus insists he didn't abandon his family all those years ago; he claims he was murdered, and now he needs Emma Lee's help to cross over.
Emma Lee knows she'll get no rest if she doesn't agree. However, she also has to deal with dwindling business at Eternal Slumber funeral home, help with her Granny's mayoral campaign, navigate a carnival in town, and suffer the disapproval of her boyfriend, Sheriff Jack Henry, who thinks Emma Lee needs to leave the investigating to the police. Without a body, though, the police have their hands tied. It's up to Emma Lee to save the day.
These stories are so fun and funny. It was a quick, easy read--perfect for a long, lazy weekend.
Favorite line: "She's always thought she was hotter than Satan's housecoat."
Five stars:
