Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Hart’s ghostly gumshoe Bailey Ruth Raeburn is frequently amusing…but this is the first time she’s been a muse.

Supervisor Wiggins at Heaven’s Department of Good Intentions dispatches Bailey Ruth to her old hometown of Adelaide, Oklahoma, to help a single mother and struggling writer. Deidre Davenport is almost broke, supporting two children, and hoping to get a faculty job with the Goddard College English Department. Professor Jay Knox is the one who decides who gets the job, but he’s more interested in Deidre’s body than her body of work.

Shortly after his advances are rejected, Knox turns up dead—with Deidre’s fingerprints found on the murder weapon. Bailey Ruth knows her charge is innocent. Now, she must find out who really knocked off Knox if Deidre and her family are ever going to have a happy ending...

Goodreads review by Anne

I have always loved the Bailey Ruth books. They have all been so good and fun reading until...dun dun dun...this one. It rehashed the story so often I thought I was in Groundhog Day. Too much emphasis on her clothes. That being said I finished the book and will consider the next book in the series.......more

Goodreads review by Linda

Bailey Ruth never met nor memorized a heavenly precept that she couldn't break within moments of arriving upon Earth to begin her mission. Poor Wiggins, heavenly train station master, certainly has his work cut out for him in managing this beguiling, frustrating, true-hearted, and--let's say "creati......more

Goodreads review by Linda

I usually rate the Bailey Ruth books as a 4, but this one didn’t seem to have the same compelling plot as others. I find Bailey Ruth a charming character and love her fashion changes, but the outfit changes seemed a little excessive this time, but then again, not every book,can be as good or better......more
