I really enjoyed this book. The characters were believable and there were several different story lines going on at the same time. Very good book!

When Neanna is found dead, an apparent suicide, Fran suspects foul play.

Later, the haunting photo without the scrapbook turns up in Neanna's car. The arrival of a group of young ghosters trying to hit it big in supernatural reality TV complicates the investigation. Pickens weaves together the murder cases and the paranormal whimsy of the ghost hunters with her distinctive Southern flair.

Book 2 in the Avery Andrews series. Good read.
A spicy mystery. Tidy plotting...gossipy humor, colorful characters, and Southern ethos.
good installment in an enjoyable cozy series.
A chance to be a part of a headline grabbing case against a drug company has lured attorney Avery Andrews back to her home in South Carolina. She agrees to meet with Mark Tilman, a young doctor from her home town who seems to have something on his mind. But on his way to the meeting he has a fatal car crash and his father asks Avery to look into his death and somehow avoid her own in the process.
I thought it was pretty good, didn't hold my attention as well ass some of her others.
