“This could be Hart’s best series yet.”
—Booklist
Spectral sleuth Bailey Ruth Raeburn from Heaven’s Department of Good Intentions is on the case again in Carolyn Hart’s delectable Ghost in Trouble—the third in the multiple Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-winning author’s acclaimed mystery series sprinkled with wonderful wit and more than a touch of the paranormal. The follow up to the acclaimed Ghost at Work (named one of Publishers Weekly’s Top Books of 2008) and Merry, Merry Ghost, Hart’s Ghost in Trouble brings Bailey Ruth back down to Earth to save a human in dire trouble…who just happens to be the phantom problem solver’s mortal enemy.
When Bailey Ruth Raeburn passed over into the great beyond, she was delighted to discover her sleuthing days would last an eternity. Joining Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, she uses the unique advantages being a ghost offers to help those in need and ensure the wicked get their just desserts.
But on this mission, Bailey Ruth finds it more difficult than ever to keep up with her boss Wiggins' rules for good spirit deportment. Not only is the woman she is supposed to save determined to thwart Bailey Ruth's good intentions at every turn, she just so happens to be one of her oldest enemies. Not that that should matter to one of Heaven's brightest emissaries, but there is only so much a person can put up with—living or dead.
Solving her toughest case yet means managing a recalcitrant charge, a fraudulent medium, a mother's heartbreak, old passions and new, and a telltale rawhide dog bone. Heaven help her!
