Ghost Ups Her Game

Quirky, cosy and packed with twists, the latest Bailey Ruth Ghost Novel sees the ghostly female sleuth face a crisis of confidence when she returns to her old hometown of Adelaide, Oklahoma to help a woman who has something to hide.

Bailey Ruth Raeburn, of Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, confidently sets out on an unauthorised mission when she receives a call for help. But soon it's not just Professor Iris Gallagher - who Bailey Ruth finds bent over a corpse, murder weapon in hand - who needs assistance. For if Bailey Ruth can't solve this case, it could be her last.

New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Hart's warm-hearted sleuth returns in the ninth Bailey Ruth Ghost Novel, with a case that will test even her Heavenly powers.

After a busy morning dispatching emissaries from Heaven's Department of Good Intentions to those in need, Bailey Ruth Raeburn is feeling flush with success. So when an urgent call for help comes through from her old hometown, she can't resist taking on the mission herself. After all, what could go wrong?

With the shouted warning of her boss, Wiggins - "Irregular! Problematic!" - ringing in her ears, she arrives to face a shocking scene: Professor Iris Gallagher leaning over the corpse of her colleague Matt Lambert, the murder weapon clutched in her hand.

Bailey Ruth is only sent to help the innocent, but things are looking very black for Iris. With Wiggins breathing down her neck, and her old friend Police Chief Sam Cobb casting doubt on her every theory, Bailey Ruth must uncover the truth - or this could be the last trip to earth she's ever allowed to make.
