GHOST TIMES TWO by Carolyn G. Hart is the seventh book in the Bailey Ruth mystery series and is a mystery paranormal fantasy novel. This creative and imaginative murder mystery begins when Bailey Ruth Raeburn, Emissary of Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, is sent to Adelaide, Oklahoma to convince Jimmy Taylor, a reporter who died in a kayak accident, to ascend to heaven. Jimmy is refusing to leave because his girlfriend is accused of killing her boss. Bailey convinces Jimmy she will help him solve the murder if he agrees to ascend to heaven when the case is solved.

Hart writes a tightly woven plot that will grab your attention from the first page and keep you spellbound until the very end. In a novel that is full of jaw-dropping surprise twists and turns, this fast-paced story only increases the suspense with each page you read. There is a large dose of humor that is woven in with the tension and makes for a remarkable read. The characters are cleverly created and planned out so that they mesh perfectly with the plot and overall story line to create a one of a kind novel that is sure to stick with you long after you read the last sentence on the last page.

The Bailey Ruth Mysteries are a compelling series that will take you from one adventure to another with each book you read. These books can easily be read as standalone novels but are better experienced reading them in order. I recommend GHOST TIMES TWO and the Bailey Ruth to anyone who loves a good mystery paranormal fantasy novel with lots of unexpected twists and turns.
