Not Quite Buried (A Lowcountry Mystery) Lyla Payne

Graciela Harper thought running away from Heron Creek was the right decision. It was the only way she could see to save her friends from her murderous half-brother, so what else could she do? Not even an appearance from the mysterious Cade Walters or a call for help from an old college friend can change her mind, but when one of her ghosts arrives with a message, Gracie realizes there's no way she can hide forever - if the ghosts can find her, so can her brother. She returns home to Heron Creek, armed with new information about her family and determined to find a way to turn the tables on the Fournier family. A visit to New Orleans gives her hope that a real future with her boyfriend, Leo Boone, could be possible - but the trip takes a dark turn when her friends begin to disappear, one-by-one. Gracie knows she has to confront Dylan Travis - to kill him before he kills her - so she sets out to uncover where he's hiding her friends, And what she discovers is that it's going to take all of her ghosts, a little luck, and a whole lot of courage to get everyone out alive.
