Ghostly gumshoe Bailey Ruth Raeburn of Heaven’s Department of Good Intentions is checking out a troubling disturbance in Adelaide, Oklahoma. But what seems at first like simple vandalism won’t be an open-and-shut case…
 
Bailey Ruth’s supervisor, Wiggins, is worried about a dear old friend. The ghost of elegant Lorraine Marlow haunts Adelaide’s college library. Known as the Lady of the Roses, she plays matchmaker, using the fragrant flowers to pair up students. But someone’s making mischief after hours, leaving roses strewn about the library, destroying a gargoyle, and stealing a valuable book. Concerned with Lorraine’s reputation among the living, Wiggins dispatches the irrepressible redhead Bailey Ruth to investigate.
 
Soon after her arrival, trouble begins to stack up. A campus security guard is shot by an intruder, and Bailey Ruth uncovers a catalog of evidence blaming a student for the crimes. As a ghost, she may not be all there, but even Bailey Ruth can decipher that something isn’t adding up. So with police preparing to make an arrest, the spirited detective must race against the clock to find the real culprit, because when justice is overdue, it takes more than death to stop Bailey Ruth Raeburn…

      In MWA Grand Master Hart’s delightful fifth Bailey Ruth ghost novel (after 2013’s Ghost Gone Wild), the ghost of lady has been haunting the college library in Adelaide, Okla., for years. Her phantasmagorical mission is to spark romances between library patrons, which is a task she accomplishes by leaving roses for select individuals. But now, someone is copying her, placing roses throughout the library—and also vandalizing gargoyles and stealing books. Departed spirit Bailey Ruth Raeburn, of heaven’s Department of Good Intentions, is convinced that a live human being is behind the crimes. As she investigates, she has a few amusing and alarming run-ins with mortals who don’t know about heaven and the ghost world. She also tries to repair a decades-old heartbreak by brokering a romantic reconciliation between the library ghost and a ghost in heaven. The suspense of that amorous subplot is every bit as gripping as the 21st-century intrigue. Agent: Deborah Schneider, Gelfman Schneider Literary Agency.
