Tipsy Collins , a recently divorced , ghost whisperer , mother of three and ex-wife of Ayers one nasty character has moved into her Brother In Laws house. Now the house is beautiful and a place to get her back on her feet but for one teeny tiny problem, it is inhabited by two married ghosts Jane and Henry Mott who have haunted the house for almost a century and did I mention that they hate each other? Yes that's the case because Jane is convinced that Henry killed her.

This book hit all of my marks, set in Charleston, a mystery involved and full of charming characters that I loved. Tipsy can see ghosts and seeks out some of them to solve the mystery of how Jane and Henry died. Tipsy becomes completely immersed in Jane and Henry's lives while they were alive and begins having visions of certain scenes in their lives when Jane and Henry were still alive. I loved the 1920's references and the small town feel of this book.  There are a few sub plots involving Tipys's friends and sister in law  which I thought worked nicely in this book and the sub characters are a story unto themselves. Tipys's ex Ayers is one character that I absolutely hated, he did everything he could to make Tipsy's life a misery including threatening to take her three children away from her. Through all of this Tipsy will persevere.

This book is going on my list of favorite books read in 2020. I love Stephanie Alexander's writing style and her ability to weave a very good story that kept me thoroughly immersed in this book.This review was originally posted on Cindy’s Book Stacks
