It was supposed to be a new beginning — good job, good pay, and a lovely home in North Carolina.
But when Max Porter discovers his office is haunted by the ghost of a 1940s detective, he is thrust neck-deep into a world of old mysteries and dangerous enemies.
One in which ghosts, witches, curses, and spells exist. One in which a simple research job can turn deadly.

This is a really fun pulp fiction read. I expected to like the ghost best, but Max Porter, the detective, won me over. This is one of those reads that picks up steam and imaginative situations as it goes. The characters also grow through the book, and quickly, so you aren’t stuck wishing they’d get smarter. Max caught on fast to the new world …
I discovered Stuart Jaffe’s Paranormal-Mystery series just before book 6, Southern Curses was released. The main characters are husband and wife and a ghost detective who adds a Noir flavor to the stories.

It’s a bit noir, a bit romance, and a lot of mystery that keeps the reader guessing right up until the end. Max and Sandra leave Michigan for North Carolina where they meet a former detective who is now a ghost. There have been …
Look before you leap.
Max has a lot of things to worry about: powerful families, ghosts, witches all come together in this original, easy to read story, with interesting characters. Looking forward to more books in this series.

Great first book to a great series
Interesting story but not very well written.
