Bailey Ruth Raeburn is called to the Department of Good
Intentions, but this time her adven-mission strikes close to
home and her life in Adelaide. The person she is to help is
a former acquaintance, Kay Clark, and they were not chums.
Worse yet, Kay is even more stubborn than Bailey Ruth ever
was, and is not likely to listen to Heaven's advice to drop
her plans and leave town.
Bailey Ruth arrives on Earth just in time to push Kay out of
the way of a plummeting deadly garden vase. Kay is poking
her nose into old family business trying to find the
murderer of her former lover, Jack Hume, behind the pretense
of writing Jack's biography. Instead of taking Bailey Ruth's
warning to heart, she sees the attempt on her life as a good
sign she is disturbing the killer and becomes even more
determined to keep turning over rocks in search of the
secret that cost Jack his life.
As with the two previous books in the series, there are
plenty of interesting suspects from which to choose.
Closest to Jack are his legally blind sister Evelyn and her
odd habit of collecting paintings she has no way of truly
enjoying and his brother James' widow Diane, seeking contact
with her dead husband through a pair of charlatans who hold
séances once a week, for a stiff donation.
At the periphery, add in the neighbors, Jack's high school
buddy Paul, art gallery owner Alison, the housekeeper and
her daughter, as well as Jack's young nephew. It takes Chief
Cobb of the Adelaide police and all Bailey Ruth's resources
to keep Kay safe on her headstrong path.
Hart has crafted another winner with just enough twisting
and turning in the plot to keep fans guessing to the end.
The late Bailey Ruth Raeburn struggles to protect a
beautiful, willful woman determined to play hunt-the-killer
in GHOST IN TROUBLE.
Bailey Ruth, an impetuous redheaded ghost, is up to her
coppery curls in challenges as she deals with a recalcitrant
charge, a fraudulent medium, a mother's heartbreak, old
passions and new, and a telltale rawhide dog bone.
