Pecan Pies and Dead Guys by Angie Fox

Inspector DeClercq is still after Frank but he makes a deal, if Verity and Frank can help him solve the mystery that's stumped him for decades, he'll get Frank a posthumous pardon. The two will have to accompany him to a local mansion where, during the course of a three-night revelry, a judge was killed. DeClercq has made the partygoers relive those nights every year since he died (or they all died? I'm not remembering if that was explained, but it didn't matter while reading). He's narrowed down the options to five people. The hosts, a couple who are their best friends, and the lover of the female best friend.
In the present day, a young woman is found dead near the pecan orchard and Ellis calls Verity in for help, even as his workmates mock him. But Verity can't find the girl's ghost.
There were some things that were glossed over in this book but I enjoyed it too much to care overly much. A nice addition to the Southern Ghost Hunter series.
