New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Hartβs ghostly gumshoe Bailey Ruth Raeburn is frequently amusingβ¦but this is the first time sheβs been a muse.
When you wish upon a star, you getβ¦Bailey Ruth? You do if youβre a little girl whose mom needs help and you touch the soft heart of Supervisor Wiggins at Heavenβs Department of Good Intentions. Granted itβs 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 writerβs conference sheβs participating in, will decide who gets the job, but heβs more interested in her body than her body of work.
Not long after his advances are rejected, Knox turns up deadβand Deirdreβs fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Bailey Ruth knows Deirdre is innocent, and that the professorβs 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.
