Now Neanna's best friend and adopted sister, Fran French, has come to town. Can Avery help Fran solve the two murders and prevent Fran from meeting the same fate? IIt's time for Avery to unearth the truth about the past before it comes back to haunt Dacus…for good.
Reviews
When Avery place the stone Angel in front of her office to use as a sign maker little did she know that she would start getting wackiness walking in off the street.Three people stop by looking to film the paranormal, then Fran from Atlanta stops by to have Avery find her sister Neanna,who has gone missing while trying to figure out who killed her mother. In the end Avery has to solve the murder of Neanna, the cold case of Neanna mothers murder, try to come up with enough work to keep her new ***istant busy, as well as work on keeping the ghost hunters out of trouble.I enjoy cozy mysterys because they are fun and an easy way to spend an afternoon and this book from Cathy Pickens fits the bill.
