"The Gravedigger's Brawl" by Abigail Roux

This spooky tale takes place in Richmond, VA, and centers around a local history museum and a bar.  Dr. Wyatt Case is the museum director and must come up with a popular exhibition to save his job.  When a colleague takes him to the Gaslight styled Gravedigger's Tavern for a drink, he's introduced to Ash Lucroix, a flair bartender.  After a knock to the head, Ash begins to act strangely and believes he's being stalked by a dead serial killer.  As Wyatt begins to look into the history of the building housing the tavern, a disturbing story unfolds . . . and one that may save his career.

Roux is one of the authors of the Cut & Run series, and that's why I read this book.  It is not part of that series but was still enjoyable and well written with lots of interesting details, snappy dialog, unusual characters, and suspenseful moments.  I also enjoyed learning about the art of flair bartending, which sounds incredibly difficult.  256 pages (Kindle edition).
