Merry, Merry Ghost
by Carolyn Hart
Bailey
Ruth Raeburn loves Christmas! In fact, it is her love of Christmas that
makes her so perfect for the next adven-mission back to earth. Wiggins
has very little time to brief her but insists she must follow the
Precepts for Heavenly Visitation, a concept Bailey struggles with.
She’s given another chance, however. She must protect Keith, the
grandson of the wealthy Susan Flynn. Unfortunately, one of Susan’s
heirs is less than thrilled with the arrival of a blood heir and now
Bailey has to use all of her ghostly wiles if she is to fulfill her
adven-mission!
MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS is the second book in a series featuring Bailey
Ruth as the heroine. This is my first foray into the series and I’m
thrilled to say that it’s easy to jump right in and enjoy this cozy
Christmas mystery! Carolyn Hart provides readers with enough history to
appreciate the precariousness of Bailey Ruth’s position as a Heavenly
emissary while showing enough character development to make it
enjoyable.
MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS is one of those tales that is just sheer fun!
Bailey Ruth’s quirky personality is lighthearted and caring, while the
villain’s identity remains a secret until the very end, keeping the
reader guessing as to which heir is devious and sick enough to murder
for money. Carolyn Hart adds a nice Christmas-style happy ending
to keep the story from veering off and getting too dark. Bravo!
