Dread and Buried (Southern Ghost Hunter Mysteries #12) by Angie Fox


 


Blurb:

Dead men tell no tales.
Until they meet ghost hunter Verity Long.

Verity Long is proud to say she gets along with just about anybody—dead or alive. But she’s put to the test when her well-meaning boyfriend and her sweet-as-pie sister con her into a remote island “double date” weekend with her sister’s new flame and Verity’s long-time nemesis, Alec Duranja.

Her plans to avoid the uptight police officer go up in smoke when the four of them team up for a weekend treasure hunt competition based on the island’s legendary pirate past. And it doesn’t take long for Verity and her team to discover more than game clues. Someone is using the game to dig up real pirate gold...and they’re willing to kill to keep it.

There’s no escaping the island or the game. And when the killer targets someone Verity loves, she realizes she’s the only one who can uncover the truth behind the legend. She must stay one step ahead of the dangers of the island and two steps ahead of Frankie’s new ghostly pirate buddies—all in a race against time to solve a centuries-old puzzle and take down a real live killer before he strikes again.

 

My review:

Verity is challenged on many levels in this delightful mystery. Not only is she on a team with Ellis and her sister but she has to deal with her nemesis, Alec Duranja. She has to play nice all weekend and work with them and Frankie to solve a mystery and find a pirate treasure.

This may be my favorite of the series to date although they are all terrific.
