Fun light cute cozy mystery. This is the 65th book Carolyn Hart has written. She is prolific. She writes three different mystery series and a few stand alone novels. Hart has won many awards.
Mystery series about a ghost who comes back to her home town after death to help people there.
This is the newest book in the series and though the story stands on its own it would be nice to have some background information written into the story to let a new reader better understand the reason she is doing what she does. Otherwise, though obviously impossible, reading a story about a ghost who can dress up in whatever fashionable outfit she wants to by just thinking about it and be seen or not seen on demand is an entertaining way to spend an afternoon.
Our book discussion group felt this was entertaining but not really that well written. There is no context to give a new reader some background on at least the main character, Bailey Ruth, now a ghost. How did she get there, who was she before she went to heaven? She works foe the good works department in heaven and is returned to earth to help people in trouble. So int his book she comes back to her Oklahoma town to help a woman accused of murder. When Bailey Ruth walks into the room to see the woman with the murder weapon in her hand , Bailey Ruth knows the woman is innocent, and works to make sure the police find the true criminal.
Not sure I will go back to start this series and catch up ..there are too many other mysteries to devour.
