Recent Reads: The Ghost of Christmas Past by Angie Fox

My review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Verity and her boyfriend Ellis are in love, the only down side being his family, or more particularly, his mother.  It doesn't help that Verity was engaged to Ellis' brother, Beau, and broke it off due to Beau's  can't keep it in his pants behaviour, and then Virginia, Beau and Ellis' mother saddled Verity with the bill.

Virginia doesn't think Verity is good enough for Ellis, but then, Virginia doesn't think any one does anything well enough to her mind, and this has been a growing problem for Verity, and  this Christmas Eve is the night that Verity snaps.

This novella is a take on A Christmas Carol, and it was one that I enjoyed!  The characters are explained to you so that you don't have to have read previous books to understand the situation, and it helps to remind you if you can't remember what happened in a previous book!

The Ghost of Christmas Past was published on 29th November 2019,  and is available to buy on Amazon  and on Waterstones.  I've found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!

This is book 8.5 in the Southern Ghost Hunter series, and I've reviewed number 7, Pecan Pies and Dead Guys and number 8, The Mint Julep Murders.

Angie Fox also has another series of books called Accidental Demon Slayer, which has 11 books in the series! She also has a Facebook page and a reader group.

If you're interested in cosy crime books, then other than the previous book in this series, I'd suggest The Liar in the Library by Simon Brett 🌟🌟🌟.

I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Moose Island Books and Author Collective 20  (the publishers) for this book.
