Another day. Another funeral. Another ghost. Another average day in the life of young funeral home director, Emma Lee Raines. After a perilous run-in with a plastic Santa Claus, Emma Lee, co-owner of Eternal Slumber Funeral Home in Sleepy Hollow, Kentucky, sees the ghost of town gossip Ruthie Sue Payne, who is proving to be a real pain, more so in death than while living. Recently deceased, Ruthie reveals to Emma Lee that her demise wasn't caused by accidentally falling down the steps at the Sleepy Hollow Inn as everyone believes—she was pushed...murdered. In order for the ghost to cross over—and for Emma Lee to be rid of Ruthie for good—she must find a desperate killer...or risk being haunted forever.Declare Out Of Books A Ghostly Undertaking (Ghostly Southern Mysteries #1)

I heard Tonya Kappes at the Southern Kentucky Book Fest last week, and her humor caught my attention. I bought the first in her Ghostly Southern mystery series, A Ghostly Undertaking, and I already have the second one, A Ghostly Grave. I have no regrets that I bought that first book. It was just as warm, funny, and charming as I expected it to be.Emma Lee Raines and her sister, Charlotte Rae, share Director duties at the Eternal Slumber Funeral Home in Sleepy Hollow, Kentucky. But, it was Emma
The first in an all new series, A Ghostly Undertaking is what I'd call a cozy mystery, a genre which I've been meaning to get around to reading at some point, and this book finally gave me the chance to and I really loved it.The concept and synopsis is what drew me in initially, I loved the idea of murders being investigated by a funeral director and the ghost of the murder victim, Emma Lee has been different ever since she was hit on the head by a plastic Santa, now she can see the spirit of
Emma Lee is the co-owner of a funeral home. Ruthie Sue has recently passed has come to Emma lee asking for help as her death was an accident. Emma Lee has to find the killer so she can rest in peace.Sleepy Hollow is a small town in KY. Everyone knows everything and gossips of course what to talk about anything exciting. People think Emma is a nutcase. Can Emma keep everyone happy from her sister to her grandmother rules? Can she find the killer before it is too late?Emma Lee and Sheriff Jack
What a fun cozy mystery! I love the small town feel, the colorful townsfolk of Sleepy Hollow, Kentucky, all the gossiping, the family dynamic between Emma Lee and her grandma & sister, especially Ruthie's comments and persistent attitude. I gobbled A GHOSTLY UNDERTAKING in one sitting! The murder mystery gave me a good run around. I suck at solving cases like this so I gave up trying to figure things out. I instead enjoyed the ride and allowed Emma Lee and Ruthie solve the latter's murder
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*I like the idea of a funeral director seeing and helping the dead. I love a good ghost story. Throw in some Southern charm, and you have the recipe for good book.The story was humorous. There was no laughing out loud where your husband thinks youre crazy, but the story made you smile a lot. The mystery portion of the book was good. There were enough clues to keep you thinking but they didnt hit you over the head with who did it.
I just love Tonya's books! Her humor and personality is totally reflected in her writings, making each book a joy to read!
