Publisher Description
When Bailey Ruth Raeburn passed over into the great beyond, she was delighted to discover her sleuthing days would last an eternity. Joining Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, she uses her unique advantages as a ghost—sometimes you see her, sometimes you don't—to help those in need and ensure the wicked get their just deserts. However, on this latest mission, Bailey Ruth finds it more difficult than ever to keep up with her boss Wiggins's rules for good spirit deportment. Not only is the woman she is supposed to save determined to thwart Bailey Ruth's good intentions at every turn, she just so happens to be one of Bailey Ruth's oldest enemies. Not that that should matter to one of Heaven's best and brightest emissaries, but still, there is only so much a person can put up with—living or dead. But solving Bailey Ruth's toughest case yet means managing a recalcitrant charge, a fraudulent medium, a mother's heartbreak, old passions and new, and a telltale rawhide dog bone. Heaven help her!

Ghost in Trouble Listener Reviews
-
" A ghost/angel is sent back to earth to help people. "
— Vicky, 2/10/2014 -
" If I were also a ghost, Bailey Ruth Raeburn, 'emissary from Heaven's Department of Good Intentions' is the kind of ghost I'd like to pal around with. She's irrepressible, impulsive, tenacious and determined. She's also funny. I thoroughly enjoy how Bailey Ruth gets herself into one predicament after another and somehow works herself out. She's even vain--a vain ghost? This is the third installment in Bailey Ruth's escapades and I hope to see more. Light-hearted and fun reads, every one. "

" This was a very hard read for me. Maybe because my library didn't have books 1&2? I didn't know I was jumping into book 3. I just couldn't get into the book. Felt like their was a lot of writing about nothing. Also I didn't need all the updates on her change of clothing. Just was not at all what I thought I would be reading about. "
— Crystal, 1/28/2014 -
" Didn't finish it. Just really don't like this Bailey Ruth main character. She has nothing to lose, so there's no tension. And I don't care enough about the earthly characters to get invested in them. Don't bother with more of this series. "
— Laura, 1/23/2014 -
" this was a cute story. one of the issues of the who-done-it, was that the clues were so vague that no one would ever figure it out. why the main character/ghost was able to was sort of unrealistic. but it's a story, and it's a ghost, so... it was an easy read. light and fun. i'll probably read another of her books, but only if i want an easy read. "
— Robin, 1/5/2014 -
" This is a fun read. I can't help but love the characters. And the mystery lasts just long enough. "
— Cheri, 12/24/2013 -
" One of three series by this author. Premise is a ghost comes from heaven as an emissary to help those on earth. Series is cute and an easy quick read. "

— Elizabeth, 8/31/2013 -
" Very light, cozy read to help me chill out during family visit during the holidays. I wouldn't read any more of this series or author. "

" Ok story but a slow read! "
— Wesleyb, 7/1/2013 -
" Received as a Firstreads Giveaway! I just love this series! The characters are very likable and fun while the mystery is simple and cozy! I look forward to more in this series! :-) "

" I just love this author and this character Bailey Ruth. I never did guess the murderer, but had lots of laughs along the way. Just a delightful read. "
— Carole, 2/28/2013 -
" This is the second book in this series that I've listened to featuring ghostly sleuth Bailey Ruth Raeburn. She's sent back to her home town to solve mysteries and help people. They're entertaining for audio books, not worth taking the trouble to read. "
— Kit, 6/27/2012 -
" Bailey Ruth, an emissary from heaven is sent to protect Kay Clark from being murdered. "
— Kitty, 10/1/2011 -
" This was light and fun. Not as intense as the other 2 books in the series. "
— Chris, 9/29/2011 -
" Another cute book about a ghost who doesn't exactly follow the rules for earthly visits. This time she is sent back to help a person she didn't exactly like when she was alive. Easy light reading. "
— Cheryl, 9/18/2011 -
" I like these Bailey Ruth stories. "
— Linda, 6/30/2011 -
" Bailey Ruth is certainly no Aunt Dimity, and I got the message that she was a green-eyed red-head after the first 250 mentions. Very little narrative tension, but overall it was a perfectly fine little mystery. "
— Andrea, 4/24/2011 -
" I'm counting this as read even though I could not finish it. Perhaps there should be a box for "Date I gave up on this book." Following the philosophy that life is too short for bad books, I gave this one a toss without getting very far into it, and even that took me almost three weeks. "
— Julie, 3/5/2011 -
" Bailey Ruth is a ghost who solves mysteries and loves clothes. I can't decide if she is the patron saint of detectives or fashion designers. She is a lot of fun. "
— Teresa, 3/3/2011 -
