"I really enjoyed reading how Sarah Booth went out to Hollywood and tried to act again. This to me is the best book in the whole series so far. We get to see another ghost where she is staying and her friends come to see her in Costa Rica as well. I hope the author will be putting out a new book soon."

— Kirkus Reviews“Light, breezy, and just plain fun. Call Haines the queen of cozies.”
— Providence Journal-Bulletin" ok book, my least favorite of the series "
— Heidi, 2/15/2014" I enjoy this cozy series but found this to be the weakest. I don't think moving the action out of Mississippi was wise; the characters lacked the charm of the previous books. Of course the cliff hanger ending leaves one wanting for more. I will continue to read these books and hope this one is just a bump in the road of Sarah Booth's tale. "
— Daniele, 2/8/2014" One of the dumbest stories and worst written books ever. "
— Rebecca, 2/2/2014" I was really disappointed with this book. I have previously loved the series. In this the main character, a southern ex-daddy's girl, moves to Hollywood for her second chance at making it as an actress. The setting of Hollywood didn't translate well for the southern lady. It was awkward and her "Southerness" was displaced. It wasn't this fun charming story about her roots, and the ties that she has. It became this forced plot, and awkward dialogue. What works in the south for these books doesn't seem to work as well set someplace else, at least for this book. I'm hoping it was a fluke. "
— Krystal, 1/21/2014" This book is an easy read. I love Mississipi authors and I actually heard Carolyn Haines read aloud the first chapter of this book at my local independent book store. "
— Marcia, 1/9/2014" Another really goodbook in this series. "
— Joanne, 1/6/2014" Super siebter Teil der "Bones"-Reihe. :) "
— Meike, 12/27/2013" it was okay...readers need to start at the beginning of the series to get the full experience of the character "
— Julie, 12/27/2013" I really enjoyed reading this book - it was a nice and easy read. I just wish the book would have kept on going and going.... I could have kept reading more. I think I'll have to look for more books by this author. "
