The Haunted Heist by Angie FoxMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Halloween Bingo 2021
This series by Angie Fox is kind of like cotton candy--there's not a whole lot there, bit it's sweet and fun. Verity, the main character, can see some ghosts and has accidentally trapped a ghostly gangster on her property. Frankie is most unhappy about this—how is he supposed to swill booze, play cards, hit on dames, and shoot his dead buddies while he's confined to the home of a broke goodie-two-shoes like Verity?
That's not Verity's only issue. She's broke because she called off her wedding to a cheating man from a prominent family of the tiny town of Sugarland. Her almost ex-mother-in-law has influence and is gunning for our girl. Could things be more complicated? You bet! Verity is now dating her ex's brother, a handsome police officer. He's a contrast to his sleazy sibling and Verity would like to quit sneaking around, but she just doesn't need additional animosity.
Two issues hit at the same time. Ellis is ready to go public and Frankie is ready for freedom and neither of them are inclined to wait or be cautious. Verity has a line on a good job when her potential employer is shot dead right after her job interview. If she can depend on Ellis and cajole Frankie, they can maybe solve this murder!
I spent my own money on this book and I'm not disappointed that I did. I'd rate it on the lower end of the four star rating (maybe 3.7 stars?) but I did really enjoy it, fluffy as it is.
