Sassy Southern humor and charm. This is such a fun series to read and I was happy to take a walk down memory lane. Verity, her pet skunk Lucy, Frankie the resident ghostly gangster all make for such an entertaining story. Everyone should visit Sugarland Tennessee and enjoy this series.

This is the exception to my usual feelings about ebook or audiobook anthologies. Included are books 1, 1.5, and 2. The perfect start to the series starring Lucy the pet skunk, Verity, and Frankie the ghostly gangster. I loved them when they first came out in audio so this was a really good excuse to begin reading them again! The bonus bits are a wonderful addition, too! If you've never read anything in this series, start here and get as hooked as the rest of us!
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Moose Island Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
I had not heard of this series until I received this ARC to review.
I have been missing out.
Angie Fox has created a smart, quirky, and highly entertaining world all wrapped up in the old Southern town of Sugarland, Tennessee.

Verity Long is the current black sheep of Sugarland, having abandoned the most eligible bachelor of the richest family in town. Revenge is a tricky thing and Verity is doing everything she can to not lose the house her grandmother left to her. In doing so, she accidentally traps a ghost onto her property-who happens to have been a gangster in his former life.
As you can imagine, this lets loose a roller coaster of mystery and adventure. Angie Fox has created a fun world that you will want to devour. This box set is a 5th year anniversary that contains Book 1, 1.5 (a short story novella), and 2. This more than enough to begin your addiction with the Southern Ghost Hunters series. Because nothing says southern charm like ghosts, murder, and a pet skunk.
This box set also contains extras that any fans of the series will surely love: deleted scenes (which if you like Frankie, you need this), closer looks at some of the characters, early book covers, a map of the house and land, etc.
Read this if you want to add some fun back to your mysteries, you won't regret it.

Description
New York Times bestseller Angie Fox celebrates 5 years of the USA Today bestselling Southern Ghost Hunter series with a limited edition boxed set of the first three stories in the series, along with never-before-seen additional content including: deleted scenes, original art, an inside look at the characters, and a behind-the-scenes peek at how the series came together.
Southern Spirits
When out of work graphic designer Verity Long accidentally traps a ghost on her property, she’s saddled with more than a supernatural sidekick—she gains the ability see spirits. It leads to an offer she can’t refuse from the town’s bad boy, the brother of her ex and the last man she should ever partner with.
A Ghostly Gift
Verity Long doesn't want to see ghosts, and she'd rather not let anyone know her little secret, either. But when a restless spirit stirs up trouble in her friend's resale shop, Verity and her very new, very dead gangster friend team up to learn what is really happening.
The Skeleton in the Closet
A haunted library is no place for a girl who can see ghosts, but when Verity Long stumbles on a dead body in the middle of the main reading room, she has to believe someone…even a dead someone…must have witnessed the crime.
*This edition contains more than 50 pages of never-before-seen material and will be available for a limited time.
