Murder on the Sugarland Express (Southern Ghost Hunter, #6)

[Mystereity Reviews]

I love this series, it's like a bag of potato chips - can't put it down! The exciting plot is the real star of this book. A well crafted homage to the iconic Murder on the Orient Express, the rip-roaring dual plot combined a long ago ghostly unsolved murder with a current day murder under similar circumstances. Fast-paced with an ending that left my heart racing, it was thoroughly enjoyable and memorable and I admit, I was surprised by whodunit and why. It was an exceptionally well done mystery that even Agatha would appreciate!

The ghostly victims of the first derailment returning to the scene of te crime (complete with a Poirot-esque police inspector!) and the thrilling solve of the first case was entertaining (I loved how The Green Lady redeemed herself at the end!) but it was the modern day murder that tugged at my heart, thanks to the great characters, I love how they've progressed as the series goes on; all of them have grown to become vivid and realistic and darn it, so likable (even Virginia!) They're all the reason I eagerly come back with each new book.
