SYNOPSIS:
The New York Times bestselling author of the Cat in the Stacks Mysteries and Digging Up the
Dirt returns with the latest Southern Ladies Mystery...
It’s autumn down south, and
An'gel and Dickce Ducote are in Natchez, Mississippi, at the request of Mary
Turner Catlin, the granddaughter of an old friend. Mary and her husband, Henry
Howard, live in Cliffwood, one of the beautiful antebellum homes for which
Natchez is famous.
Odd things have been happening in the house for years, and the French Room in particular has become the focal point for spooky sensations. The Ducotes suspect the ghostly goings-on are caused by the living, but when a relative of the Catlins is found dead in the room, An'gel and Dickce must sift through a haunted family history to catch a killer.

The
allure of Southern charm is one of the things that first drew me to the
Southern Ladies Mystery series by author Miranda James. The quirky characters
and the fascinating plots keep me coming back for more.
James weaves
a story with small town charisma that will have you wishing you could visit in
person. Throw in darling pets, eccentric characters and a paranormal event or
two and you have a story you will enjoy from beginning to end.
FIXING TO
DIE can be read on its own or as part of the delightful series.
The story moves at a good pace with twists and turns keeping you guessing. This
is a captivating tale that will appeal to mystery readers with a touch of
paranormal.
