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.
When you wish upon a star, you get…Bailey Ruth? You do if
you’re a little girl whose mom needs help and you touch the
soft heart of Supervisor Wiggins at Heaven’s Department of
Good Intentions. Granted it’s not the usual task of an
emissary, but then again Bailey Ruth is not your usual
emissary. So Wiggins dispatches the spunky spirit to her old
hometown of Adelaide, Oklahoma, to help a single mother and
struggling writer find some creative solutions to her problems.
Deidre Davenport is just about broke, trying to support her
two children, and has her hopes pinned on getting a faculty
job with the Goddard College English department. Jay Knox,
who is in charge of the writer’s conference she’s
participating in, will decide who gets the job, but he’s
more interested in her body than her body of work.
Not long after his advances are rejected, Knox turns up
dead—and Deirdre’s fingerprints are found on the murder
weapon. Bailey Ruth knows Deirdre is innocent, and that the
professor’s lewd behavior is bound to have rubbed others the
wrong way. Now she must find out who really knocked off
Knox...if Deirdre and her family are ever going to have a
happy ending.
