A great book by a fantastic author. The writing is excellent and the mystery keeps you turning the pages. Characters are well developed. Highly recommend.

What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously. To have a book that is well written as well as entertaining is a delight. Reading is about escaping your world and entering another one. The word building was phenomenal in this book. Here I forgot about my own life and was immersed in the world created by the author. I would recommend this book.

This book was an amazing journey. Well written, exciting and well worth the time spend with Verity, Frankie and Ellis. Get your cup of coffee ready, brake out the chocolates and grab a comfy chair. You are going to be in that chair for awhile....

I loved this! Anything written by Angie Fox is always a winner for me. The only thing missing was more Lucy. Just love that skunk. This was all around fabulous with Verity and Frankie in the midst of murder on a train both past and present. Verity is sure to be a hit for a long time to come with new and established fans of the series.

Thank you to Netgalley, Moose Island Books and Angie Fox for the digital copy that I received in exchange for an honest review.

Murder on the Sugarland Express by Angie Fox has 250 pages and was published by Moose Island Books in 2017.

Murder on the Sugarland Express is yet another masterpiece in a delightful series of books by Angie Fox. In this particular book, Verity and Ellis decide to take a much needed vacation. However, they soon realize that the privacy they crave will be difficult to attain with Frankie and Molly in tow.

I love the characters in this book. Even Lucy, although she isn't mentioned much in this one. (I imagine it would be difficult to travel with a pet skunk.) Beau finally steps up a bit and may be making some much needed changes in his life. It will be interesting to see if he keeps it up or falls back into his jerky habits.

The pacing is perfect. Murder on the Sugarland Express is packed with action and suspense and will keep the reader turning the pages.

Recommended for fans of paranormal fiction and cozy mysteries.

5 stars
I am in love with this series...super love it...
Verity and Ellis just want to have a nice quiet vacation, but nooooo, her destiny is to always be involved with ghosts.
This book reminded me of the famous Murder on the Orient Express, which i love, obviously.
As always, Verity puts herself in danger but always solves the mystery.
I really hate Ellis' brother, when is he going to get it? I really do think that in this book he finally saw reason, but you never know...
Can't wait for the next book, which I hope is soon...pleaseeee

I am a huge fan of Angie Fox. I 've never read a book of her's that disappoints. Verity is a favourite character now for sure. She writes such a great combination of mystery,humour etc. that I'm always entertained.
My thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

There was so much more I would have liked to have seen with this story. It felt rushed and forced. The basics were good though. The story overall just felt weak and the characters were very one- dimensional. I had to force myself to finish this one and I normally love this author.

Another great addition to a fun paranormal series. can't wait for the next one.

This cozy mystery is sorta like Murder on the Orient Express, only with a bit of a twist - there are two murders, one in the physical case and then one in the ghost world. It is a fun and exciting world that has been created here. The author. here writes very well, and sets out to have a fun storyline, Her characters are great characters, very detailed and real (even though some are really dead!). It is hard to put down and easy to read and forget how long you have been reading!. I highly recommend this book!

I love this series. It keeps getting better & better. If you love paranormal mysteries you'll love it too.
Going on a historical train trip seems so fun & romantic however you can't leave the ghosts home & here start the mysteries. There's a double murder, one in the past & one in the present & both must be solved before the present train meets the fate of the first train. It was nice to see the relationship with the ex's family improving with everyone working together to solve the mysteries. I can't wait to see Ellis & Verity's romance go to the next level. I was given the opportunity to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley and the publisher.

love this series, it's like a bag of potato chips - can't put it down! The exciting plot is the real star of this book. A well crafted homage to the iconic Murder on the Orient Express, the rip-roaring dual plot combined a long ago ghostly unsolved murder with a current day murder under similar circumstances. Fast-paced with an ending that left my heart racing, it was thoroughly enjoyable and memorable and I admit, I was surprised by whodunit and why. It was an exceptionally well done mystery that even Agatha would appreciate!

The ghostly victims of the first derailment returning to the scene of te crime (complete with a Poirot-esque police inspector!) and the thrilling solve of the first case was entertaining (I loved how The Green Lady redeemed herself at the end!) but it was the modern day murder that tugged at my heart, thanks to the great characters, I love how they've progressed as the series goes on; all of them have grown to become vivid and realistic and darn it, so likable (even Virginia!) They're all the reason I eagerly come back with each new book.

I would like to thank Moose Island Books for providing me with an electronic ARC of this book, via Netgalley, in exchange for an open and honest review.

Okay, I am still catching up! I finished this book back in January and am only now popping in the review.

Here and now I will state I am a HUGE fan of ‘The Southern Ghost Hunter Mystery Series’ and so did a little happy dance when I was approved to read this ARC of ‘Murder on the Sugarland Express’.

This is the 6th book in ‘The Southern Ghost Hunter Mystery Series’ and gels perfectly with the other books in the series. It’s not a rehash or a cookie cutter repeat of the same stuff - she see ghosts, solves mysteries - and anyone who says that needs to be banned from reading. End of. ;-)

Although the main characters are still the same ones we’ve been reading throughout the series, ‘Murder on the Sugarland Express’ is an adventure on its own. Characters are developing, relationships - good and bad - are progressing and there are ghosts who are there to often hinder more than help… or so it sometimes seems. The same light hearted, tongue in cheek southern style moments are there too and they simply add to the richness of it all.

The descriptions of the places visited by Verity, as well as the train itself - simply gorgeous and proof research has been done by Ms Fox to ensure we the reader is getting what we came for.

There’s not so much from Lucy the skunk in this book… but not all the books can centre around such a little cutie. Instead we get to delve into Verity’s relationship with her boyfriend Ellis, her ex-fiancé Beau and their mother. It was interesting to see how her interaction with these three characters progressed and I feel there is a story of two to follow to continue on to explain why people are starting to act the way they are.

Or is that just wishful thinking, as I really want Ms Fox to WRITE MORE!? ;-)

I have to add that I also enjoyed the few nail biting moments laced through the book. I won’t go and spoil things by describing them here… but well played Ms Fox, thank you of robbing me of my sleep for a few nights as I simply HAD to finish! :-D

Would I recommend this book to others?

Yes I would. It’s a cosy crime/ mystery and so more light hearted and “fluffy” than other crime series I read. But it was still a very enjoyable story.

However, I really would recommend people go and get/ read the first 5 books in ‘The Southern Ghost Hunter Mystery Series’ first. I suppose you could read ‘Murder on the Sugarland Express’ as a standalone… but you would be doing yourself and Ms Fox an injustice. Just go get them, read them and thank me later, okay?

Would I buy this book for myself?

Most definitely! I absolutely LOVE this series and ‘Murder on the Sugarland Express’ was as good a read as the others have been, and so am happy to go buy a copy to enjoy.

In summary: A continuation of the thrills, chills, and love in Verity Long’s life. I highly recommend this book.

I love all of the Angie Fox books!!! Interesting stories and fast easy reading. My perfect go to books when i want to just relax and enjoy a read!!!!!

A train murder mystery set on a restored steam train set in the Tennessee mountains.. What begins as a romantic get-away quickly turns into murder investigations. Yes, more than one. Throw in a few ghosts, an ex-boyfriend and villains and we’re off. Lots of twists and turns to keep you engaged. Read and see what happens and how it’s resolved.
This is the first book in the series that I have read. I enjoyed it.

Advanced reader copy (ACR) provided by the Author and Publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

An enjoyable, light hearted, funny read, with a soft suspenseful mystery! This book is a nod to Murder on the Orient Express but with ghosts, and Southern ghosts at that.

It's my first book read by this author, whom I've been wanting to read for sometime now. It is the 6th book in a series, but the author briefly covers enough of the back story so that I didn't feel lost or confused. Her writing flows easily and her descriptions are vivid. I could picture the translucent ghosts and the colorful train passengers, along with the opulence of the train suites and the beautiful mountain scenery.

Murder on the Sugarland Express is a great beach or vacation read, perfect for traveling or just sitting home by a cozy fire.

This is one of my favorite cozy series. Southern Ghost Hunter mysteries have Verity and Ellis along with ghost Frankie and his new ghost girlfriend solving another murder. You can read this as a stand alone but all the previous books are fun and add clues to the back stories. Verity discovered Frankie the ghost could travel with her when she put his urn in her pocketbook. Ellis, the local police detective can't see all the ghosts in his girlfriend's life but accepts their help when it comes to crime solving. If you're looking for a fun paranormal series, this is a good one.

This was a great addition to the series, and I continue to enjoy the characters, the romance, and the mystery. This was a nice homage to Agatha Christies Murder on the Orient Express, and I will anxiously waiting for the next installment of Verity.

MURDER ON THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS is another delightful installment in this series filled with clever twists and turns and unique, likable characters. It was especially fun to read this after seeing the recent Murder on the Orient Express movie and spot the similarities in some of the plot points and characters as the book is an homage to the Agatha Christie story. The murder mystery ends up being a dual mystery, one being on the living plane and the other on the ghostly plane. Luckily, it doesn't get super complex and both mysteries are compelling and tragic. Both cases unfold almost simultaneously and rapidly with quite a few possible suspects for each murder that keep the tension up through to an exciting climactic ending.

I love seeing Verity come into her own in regards to her abilities to see and talk to ghosts. Some of my favorite moments in this book are of her trying to handle talking to a living person while attempting to politely ignore the ghost demanding her attention. It was also amusing to see her try to resist taking on a case during her much needed vacation knowing that she would eventually be pulled in. She can't help herself to help others! While she is capable of handling ghosts, I liked seeing the interactions between Verity her boyfriend Ellis, his brother (her ex), and his mom. Ellis takes on a more active role, what with being a cop on a train with a murder to solve. I love how supportive and accepting he is of Verity which is in such a contrast to his vindictive brother and snobbish mom.

MURDER ON THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS is a fun twist on cozy mysteries, as well as an excellent homage to Agatha Christie but with added ghostly hijinks to make it something wonderfully unique.

Murder on the Sugarland Express by Angie Fox is amazing. Her main protagonist, Verity, is a ghost hunter. She helps the ghosts she sees and helps them move into the light. Then, there's the gangster ghost, Frankie, who is attached to the urn that she possesses. Wherever she goes with the urn, Frankie goes to...

Verity and her boyfriend, Ellis, want to escape their town and have a romantic getaway. However, Frankie convinces Verity to let him tag along so he could seduce his lady ghost friend. Then, there's the other ghosts she meets while on the train. The train they're on, is new except for the bell that was rummaged from the original Sugarland Express train. That train had several mishaps, like murder and taking all of its passengers down into the river...so many died that day. Now, with the original bell attached to the new Sugarland Express train, the ghosts are being called back to the living world. There, Verity, Ellis, and Frankie will have their hands full trying to solve the past and current murders. Plus, if they're not fast enough, they may all die in a train wreck...

Angie Fox sure knows how to engage readers like myself. I was hooked. The plot kept me guessing, laughing, and rooting for Verity and Frankie. Ellis was a major help in solving the murders too. Being a cop, Ellis, is always answering his calling. The romance between Ellis and Verity felt real. I love this couple. No matter what happens they stick through it. Overall, I highly recommend this paranormal romance mystery to all.
