When Verity finds a body in the library, she begins her trip to a convoluted past full of lies. Someone killed the woman because she found out a family secret, but which family and what is the secret? But wait!! What if it isn’t just one secret? Verity has to pull the strings to unravel one heck of a historical coverup – and she couldn’t have done it without Frankie.
To complicate things a bit more, there’s a station filming a documentary about the town’s most famous battle. Verity’s almost mother-in-law is heading the charge to make the town famous and won’t let anything stand in her way.
I loved visiting some past ghosts from book one, meeting a few really nice new ones, and watching Frankie’s antics as he tries to unground himself from Verity’s house. Lots of great banter, some dangerous situations, and a mystery solved in a very clever way. Highly recommend this series.
