A Ghostly Murder by Tonya Kappes. This book is part of a series. I recently reviewed the installment proceeding this one. This series follows Emma , a funeral director who discovers that she can see and hear the departed after a blow on the head. She discovers that she is entrusted with the task of assisting those who are not at peace to find justice by catching their killer. in this case there are some very strange things going on and there are a string of deaths which looked like natural causes but we're not. Emma has her work cut out for her following the money trail, unearthing long kept secrets and dealing with the possible career move her boyfriend is considering. On top of it all Emma's sister is making some changes. Emma just can't catch a break . There are so many zany goings on and more in between ghosts are popping up. This story blends the crazy and amusing with the serious and suspenseful well. You've got to feel for Emma because if she won't gettingnintona scrape then one of her family like her grandmother. The charafters are quirky and interesting. The plot has twists and action in the right places. The plot tied together unicellular the end. The main character is facing several situations that are difficult in her personal life adding some dimension. I also learned some interesting facts about tombstones and bells that I did not know before. This was a fun and yet suspenseful romp.
