Publisher Description
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.

"I loved this one. It's so original and fresh. It is a little more Christian in nature but I didn't mind at all. Bailey Ruth is funny, charming, and has a ton of spunk. I can't wait for the next book in this series."
— Mendy (5 out of 5 stars)
Ghost At Work Listener Reviews
-
" Hoping to join the Department of Good Intentions, the ghost of Bailey Ruth Raeburn returns to her Oklahoma hometown to help the pastor's wife solve a pre-Halloween murder mystery. A cozy, humorous whodonit with a paranormal twist. "
— Tracie, 2/20/2014 -
" Nice, light read. Bailey Ruth is very engaging, not knowing about modern technology. Worth a read if you need something light. Not easy to determine "who-done-it". "
— Carri, 2/19/2014 -
" I have been a fan of Carolyn Hart's Death on Demand series (if I do grow tired of hearing how hot Max is...). I couldn't take another minute of this book after chapter four. As soon as she'd recall that she shouldn't do something, she'd immediately do it. Then admonish herself for doing it. It was like having a 2-year old as the protagonist. It is hopelessly twee and dull. Skip it. "

" This is a fun, easy read if you have nothing else at hand. "
— Betty, 2/16/2014 -
" Apparently not as accepted as Carolyn's "Death on Demand Series", I love Bailey Ruth and look forward to the next books. Extremely humorous as she works her mischief from the sky. "
— Dalia, 2/9/2014 -
" First in the series. This is very cute and very funny. Wiggins is the person in charge of Bailey and this is her first mission to help someone. It is funny and well written. "
— Connie, 1/23/2014 -
" I am not really as shallow as my choice of books might indicate. I know I keep alluding this to ongoing apology, but...This is the first book in a series about a ghost sent from heaven on a mission to resolve a dilemma (murder) in her old home town. The plot is interesting, but some of the characters, less so. The premise of the ghost on a mission and the description of life in heaven is pure escapism but comforting. "
— Kathleen, 1/23/2014 -
" Funny and Fun -- the 1st in the series "
— Kathleen, 1/19/2014 -
" First in a new series. Very nice. "
— Kimberly, 1/19/2014 -
" Ultimate TSTL heroine except she's already dead. "
— Kelasher, 1/1/2014 -
" Very much a fluff mystery---doubt I'll pick up the next in the series when it comes out. "
— Angela, 12/27/2013 -
" ok might try the next one "
— Kim, 12/17/2013 -
" Cute mystery, have gone and ordered the next two in the series. "
— Barbre, 11/10/2013 -
" I enjoy these books. The silly quirks of the ghost make me laugh and I just enjoy her personality. "
— Miriam, 11/10/2013 -
" This was an unlikely book for me to read but I quite enjoyed it. It was quite amusing. I may even read the next book in the series. The audio version was good. "
— Leslie, 10/10/2013 -
" Not your usual Carolyn Hart mystery... once you get use to the fact that Bailey Ruth's a ghost, she actually grows on you. Enjoy! "
— Nancy, 9/28/2013 -
" Meh. I enjoy her Death on Demand or Henrie O books much better. I will try the next one in the series to give it a chance though. "
— Jan, 8/12/2013 -
" Couldn't get into this one, gave up after 50 pages... "
— Tribefan, 4/9/2012 -
" I enjoy Carolyn Hart. Light read, fun mystery. "
— Emily, 3/16/2012 -
" This was a fun cozy! I enjoyed it and will look for others in this series. The main character is a ghost from heaven who has come to help a relative accused of murder. "
— Amanda, 7/19/2011 -
" I enjoyed it, but I don't intend to read more in the series. "
— Christine, 1/11/2011 -
" Amusing series. I've read 1-3 so far of the Bailey Ruth books. "
— Liz, 7/21/2010 -
" This was really a fun and charming little read. It had all the 'who-done-it' appeal of a great mystery but it wasn't scary at all which works out better for me since I usually read at night with my headlamp on while the rest of the world is sleeping. "
— Carolyn, 1/21/2010 -
" Meh. I didn't like it - or dislike it. I doubt I'll read another in the series. Maybe another by the author would be ok. Maybe. "
— Michelle, 12/30/2009 -
" As is the case with all of the Carolyn Hart books, this is a quick, easy read. I enjoyed Baily Ruth and the fact that she is a ghost. "
— Daniele, 11/5/2009 -
" I'm a big fan of Carolyn Hart and she did not disappoint me with this book. I hope there are more in the series! "
— Vicki, 8/19/2009 -
" The main character is a ghost, but it was an amusing story. "
— Julaine, 11/12/2008 -
" Hmm. Interesting idea by for some reason the execution was annoying. "
— Trish, 11/1/2008
