Publisher Description
In this 12th entry in the award-winning series, Carolyn Haines' intrepid PI Sarah Booth comes up against porn-star-turned-psychic Sherry Cameron, who runs a medium business from a haunted estate on the edge of town. After growing suspicious that Sherry might be exploiting her emotionally vulnerable-and extremely wealthy-clients, Sarah disguises herself as a maid and sneaks onto Sherry's estate. But what she discovers there is deadlier than she could have imagined.

"I have read all of this series and always look forward to a new title. I especially liked this one as the plot essentially stayed in one physical location, an upscale think tank, complete with a medium who performs senances and of course a wealthly woman about to be deprived of her fortune by her son. Lots of twists and turns,two murders and Sheriff Coleman Peters to the rescue of Sarah Booth Delaney. Yes this is a fairly predictible series, but I love it for the fact that it takes place in Sunflower County Mississippi which really exists and the author always has some local details in the story. Makes me feel like I am actually there and yes I will wait patiently for the next title. But please more Coleman Peters and not Graf, Sarah Booth's finance."

" Carolyn Haines did it again with the page turner of a mystery with all the characters one has grown to enjoy. Having the characters act as personal maids was great and it added to the humor and twists of the story. "
— Lynette, 2/16/2014 -
" I love Carolyn Haines, and I love this series! Every year I eagerly await the next chapter in the life of Sarah Booth Delany, her ghost Jitty, and her various friends and colleagues! Her latest book, Bonefire of the Vanities, is one more jewel in her crown of achievements. She slowly lures you into the story until you find yourself immersed in intrigue to the point of oblivion from the outside world. This is done with characters that appear so real you feel as though you are in a circle of personal friends. Each book has a more creative plot than the last and Bonefire of the Vanities is no exception. "

" Certainly not my favorite in the series. Still not completely feeling the connection with Graf ...feeling Coleman....Graf will always be second best. "
— Laura, 2/3/2014 -
" I enjoy reading about Sarah Booth. She's a strong woman who stands up for herself and understands her heritage. Tink is a real hoot. A fun enjoyable read. "

— Denise, 1/6/2014 -
" Another bestseller!!! Loved the twisted ending---I myself blamed different characters of doing the deed, but was wonderfully surprised!! "
— Laura, 1/3/2014 -
" Bonefire of the Vanities was entertaining but the plot was slow to develop. Sarah Boothe and Tinkie are a great sleuthing pair but I missed the wit and sarcasm of Jitty,the resident ghost, who only appeared a few times in the story. "
— Christine, 1/1/2014 -
" Such great fluff! "
— Mary, 12/22/2013 -
" I loved this book. But then again I love all the books in this series and you will never be disapointed in the writing or story. The author is one of my favorites. "
— Tonia, 12/8/2013 -
" I figured out the killer two steps ahead of Sarah Booth and I felt like Tinkie didn't really get a lot to do in this one. Fast paced, fun and I really didn't see the twist at the end coming. "
— Seletta, 12/6/2013 -
" Light reading but fun. "
— Jackie, 10/13/2013 -
" I'm long-time fan of this series, but this one was a bit ho-hum. "
— Cindy, 7/3/2013 -
" Overall, I found this to be a cute novel and the characters have very likeable attributes. I have never read the other books in the series but I can say that this a series that I will look into. I recommend this book to those that want to read a novel that is fast paced and has a few twists. "
