A Ghostly Undertaking

Ghostly Southern Mysteries, Book 1

By: Tonya Kappes

Narrated by: Tiffany Morgan

A funeral, a ghost, a murder...It's all in a day's work for Emma Lee Raines...

Bopped on the head from a falling plastic Santa, local undertaker Emma Lee Raines is told she's suffering from "funeral trauma." It's trauma all right, because the not-so-dearly departed keep talking to her. Take Ruthie Sue Payne - innkeeper, gossip queen, and arch-nemesis of Emma Lee's granny - she's adamant that she didn't just fall down those stairs. She was pushed.

Ruthie has no idea who wanted her pushing up daisies. All she knows is that she can't cross over until the matter is laid to eternal rest. In the land of the living, Emma Lee's high-school crush, Sheriff Jack Henry Ross, isn't ready to rule out foul play. Granny Raines, the widow of Ruthie's ex-husband and co-owner of the Sleepy Hollow Inn, is the prime suspect. Now Emma Lee is stuck playing detective or risks being haunted forever.

Contains mature themes.

Loving Ghosts

This is such a light but captivating story with colorful characters. Narrators does great job with personalities and sounding believable.

Trying To Get Through It

So so story. It kills the time when there is absolutely nothing on tv. The narrator reminds q of a first grader learning to read. You can't even adjust the speed because she isn't consistent. One moment she's reading so slowly it's like in slow motion and the next she's going so fast it's like a different language. Be prepared to return this book.

Fun cozy mystery

This was a random listen, found A Ghostly Undertaking in the plus catalog. It was a fun listen. The characters were likable. The storyline was good. The narrator did a good job with all the characters. The only thing that I didn’t like was the frequent use of “funeral trauma”. Overall, the book was pretty good. If you like cozy mysteries, you might enjoy this one.

Interesting Start of Series

It’s a cute little start to an unusual series. The woman who owns the funeral home sees ghost. This will be the start of her new life. She helped the Sheriff to solve a murder because of it!

Love this narrator and this story!

Great book and my favorite narrator. Will continue listening to future books by this author.
