Bailey Ruth Raeburn has always been great at solving mysteries. Why should a little thing like her death change anything? In fact, being dead gives her more of an opportunity to be on top of events. Bailey Ruth is delighted that her unique position as a ghost makes it possible for her to lend a helping hand, sometimes seen and sometimes not. And if anybody needs a little help, it’s Kathleen, the pastor’s wife. There’s a dead man on her porch, and once the body is discovered, the pastor is sure to become a suspect.
Uncharitable people might call it meddling, but Bailey Ruth knows Kathleen needs her help! As a member of Heaven’s Department of Good Intentions, Bailey Ruth goes back to earth to extricate Kathleen from a dire situation. If Bailey Ruth has to bend a few rules to help Kathleen save her family, Wiggins, her fussbudget supervisor, will make sure it all turns out right in the end.

      This new series by Carolyn Hart features a ghost turned sleuth, who works out of heaven's Department of Good Intentions. With warmth and aplomb, Ann Marie Lee reads this cozy, which is blended with improbable fantasy, realistic and lovable characters, and an engrossing plot. She pulls listeners into the story gently and keeps us interested, as well as surprised and amused. Heroine Bailey Ruth, who lived in the 1960s, returns to a 2008 world of cell phones, new fashions, and computers. Lee helps us believe Hart's wonderful accounts of Bailey Ruth's antics and missteps as she solves a murder, thwarts a kidnapping, and clears the pastor's wife of murder. Lee's voice wraps us in the charms of a small town, a charming ghost, and aid sent from heaven. S.C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from September 8, 2008
      A ghost turns sleuth in the intriguing first of a new series from Hart (Death on Demand
      ), who's won Agatha, Anthony and Macavity awards. When Bailey Ruth Raeburn and her husband die on their cabin cruiser during a storm, Bailey joins the heavenly host. Later, she returns to earth via the Rescue Express to her hometown of Adelaide, Okla., to help the rector's wife, Kathleen Abbott. After finding the body of a dead man on her back porch, Kathleen fears either she or her husband might be accused of the crime. Bailey Ruth helps her to move the body, inaugurating a search for the killer that proves difficult as the victim was despised by many. As Bailey Ruth uncovers more than one crime, she must contend with her own violations of the Precepts for Earthly Visitation and adjust to her powers on earth. Hart blends an enjoyable fantasy with realistic characters and an engrossing plot that's sure to charm even ardent materialists.
