Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned … especially a dead one holding a grudge.
Back on Deadwood’s list of Usual Suspects, Violet Parker is hip deep in wild frights and fired-up females. After juggling bitter threats, haunted buildings, and vengeful ghosts, the last thing she needs is a pair of bullheaded detectives trying to pin another murder on her tail.
Can Violet find the real killer … find the real killer before she ends up behind bars? Or worse, on a slab at the morgue.

LOved it. I know the area and that makes it even more entertaining. Funny characters. Scary!
Every book in this series is just amazing. Violet’s life is so hectic she makes me tired. There are a few “almost” love scenes, and sometimes the real deal, you never can tell. On the paranormal side, it keeps me guessing, but there is definitely a spiritual storm brewing. Thank God I don’t have to walk in Violet’s purple boots.
I love reading books by Ann Charles and can’t wait for the next Deadwood series.
I love this author, her books are fast reading and just fun to read. Let’s get busy and write more!
I enjoy the nonsensical whimsy of these books about the various ghosts that inhabit Deadwood and the actions or reactions of the unusual cast of characters who can either see or smell or otherwise sense the ghosts. And of course there’s Violet who has found out she is a Scharfricter (executioner in German) who has the ability to dispatch evil spirits. Who wouldn’t love the story. Of course Violet is finding out by experience how her abilities work (often much to her surprise). Meanwhile she is a realtor during the day… and the antics that go on in the realty office are equally entertaining, and then there are her two children… and Violet’s very sexy boyfriend, Doc, and the rest of the cast of characters including the local police who keep Violet from EVER being bored with her life. If you want mindless fun, where the heroine never really gets a chance to rest, well, these are the books for you!
Loved this book and all of the others in this series! Looking forward to the next one.
These books are a hoot and a half and I’m gradually collecting the series. Great light reading that is fun and funky with a little romance.
Great series. Love the characters and situations. Steamy sex and lots of humor. I can’t wait for the next
Love her books
Totally terrific time. Highly recommend. Witty conversational duels. Steamy relationships. Great plot twists and turns.
I love this series, I like Paranormal mysteries and this series is a hoot as well. The lead is an unlikely heroine but she does grow into it, reluctantly. There are those who can and do know about the paranormal side of life and those who don’t and don’t want to. The lead character is a not very good Realtor who has gotten a reputation for dealing with haunted properties. Few people in town know her true calling or challenges, her Artistic Aunt and a handsome financial advisor who sees and hears ghosts do, the tough police detective doesn’t at first. Luckily his slightly looney uncle does understand and he plays interference. I really enjoy the people in these books, the situations are other worldly and bizarre but so much fun you buy right into them. There’s a great romance that takes time to fully develop and the potential for several other characters if they’d just get out of their own way. I’ve been to Deadwood, I’ve never met anyone there like these folks, mores the pity.
I just can’t get enough. Love this series.
Great series
I love the entire Deadwood series. So much fun to read. The characters are funny and original, and downright eccentric. The steamy romance between Violet and Doc . Yes, the story can be a little far fetched and you think our heroine cannot possibly have such bad luck, but I read for entertainment and this series does not disappoint in keeping you entertained.
I’ve read all of the series. It is always interesting to see how Violet is going to get in trouble next with her developing traits. I love the other characters in the book as well. It has a good amount of spunk and wise cracking.
What a great series this is. It’s got it all, mystery, romance, wit, great character development and keeps you guessing. I highly recommend it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Violet’s latest adventure. If you haven’the visited Deadwood before, you might find yourself a bit lost in back story references. Do yourself a favor and start the ride at book one. I did, and binge read the series in a week. As a retired member of law enforcement I must say Coop is my favorite character. If you’re a fan of this series I suggest reading all of Ann’s other fiction. There appear to be ties among them beyond those of family.
I just can’t get enough of Violet!
Have read this entire series. All are simply fantastic! I started out with the first book as a ‘freebie’ and could not let go of the following ones. Not really a cliff-hanger type of book but there are things going on with certain characters that your just NEED to know what happens next. I don’t usually get so hung up on series type books as I like to keep my reading varied. But this one has me tapping my finger on the table top waiting for the next book!
Another great book from Ann Charles and the Deadwood series. Can’t wait for the next one.
