Review A Ghostly Demise by Tonya Kappes
When she runs into her friend's deadbeat dad at the local deli, undertaker Emma Lee Raines can't wait to tell Mary Anna Hardy that he's back in Sleepy Hollow, Kentucky, after five long years. Cephus Hardy may have been the town drunk, but he didn't disappear on an epic bender like everyone thought: He was murdered. And he's heard that Emma Lee's been helping lost souls move on to that great big party in the sky.
Why do ghosts always bother Emma Lee at the worst times? Her granny's mayoral campaign is in high gear, a carnival is taking over the town square, and her hunky boyfriend, Sheriff Jack Henry Ross, is stuck wrestling runaway goats. Besides, Cephus has no clue whodunit…unless it was one of Mrs. Hardy's not-so-secret admirers. All roads lead Emma Lee to that carnival—and a killer who isn't clowning around. (less)

This is part of a series. I will also be reviewing the next book in this series as I received galleys of both in exchange for an honest review. I am acquainted with the authors work having read several of her prevpious works. This particular selection the main character Emma is an undertaker who has recently discovered that she can assist souls which are not able to be at rest because of the manner of their death. She takes the clues which they provide and assists in bringing their killer to justice. This is a light, fun read. There are some awkward moments when neighbors and relatives think that Emma has lost her sanity because she can see a and speak to spirits . There are also plot twists and moments of danger and suspense as Emma investigates what has happened to her latest client. The characters are colorful and entertaining. The southern quirky town is a great setting. For me ore details you can check out my review on goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1346184924?book_show_action=false
