by Carolyn Hart (Compact Disc Hart)
After a three-year absence (due to change of publisher), heavenly sleuth Bailey Ruth Raeburn is back in an all-new amateur detective mystery from Carolyn Hart. Bailey Ruth is a departed spirit, regularly sent from Heaven’s “Department of Good Intentions” to aide and protect individuals in her old hometown of Adelaide, OK who may be in danger of being accused of crimes. Hart likes to throw little twists into the exploits of her dearly departed sleuth, and the twist this time is that Chief Sam Cobb believes the evidence against the person Bailey Ruth is trying to protect, is overwhelming enough to not assist his ghostly investigator — in other words, Baily Ruth is on her own to prove a college professor is innocent of the violent death of a less-than-scrupulous college fund-raiser.
As
always, this is a fun, relatively light-weight mystery, with
interesting/sympathetic new characters, and some old favorites back again. If
you’re not interested in a bit of paranormal mixed in with your
mystery-solving, you’ll want to avoid this one. But if you don’t mind a perky
red-headed “ghost” from Oklahoma on the case, this is enjoyable. Also “as
always,” I enjoyed Ghost Ups Her Game as
a book-on-CD, where narrator Ann Marie Lee is absolutely perfect for this
series!
