Bailey Ruth

review 1: I like easy listening materials for my commute time but this one bordered on dull. It is the story of a gorgeous, well-dressed, spunky redhead who helps solve crimes in her Texas home town. Oh, and did I mention that she's a ghost? She can swirl into visibility at any time, disappear in a flash, physically move things yet still needs to eat and sleep. Nothing in this book grabbed me - or even interested me, really. My advice: Skip it!
review 2: While Bailey Ruth Raeburn is enjoying her time in Heaven, she still feels like she can be helpful on earth so she is happy to receive another mission from the Department of Good Intentions. She is delighted to be able to visit her beloved Adelaide, Oklahoma again but less delighted to discover she will be helping Kay... more Clark, a woman Bailey Ruth knew and disliked when she was alive. Still, Bailey Ruth pledges to be on her best behavior and she at least tries, but it is not easy as she finds herself knee-deep in a suspected murder, an attempted murder, an actual murder, and a woman who resists her attempts to help. This may be Bailey Ruth's toughest case yet."Ghost in Trouble" is another great entry in Carolyn Hart's delightful cozy mystery series featuring Bailey Ruth. There are a lot of things I love about this series starting with the irrepressible Bailey Ruth. I love her character - she really means well even if she has a hard time obeying the precepts during her visits to earth. Her preoccupation with her wardrobe adds a great deal of humor to this book and the entire series. Her interactions with Kay are wonderfully done and I love Kay's reaction to Bailey Ruth. Another thing I love about this books (and series) is Hart's version of Heaven where you can catch Elvis in concert or watch Bob Hope's latest comedy routine (wouldn't it be wonderful if Heaven really is like that?) The paranormal aspects are well done as Bailey Ruth zips from place to place, can go straight through a ceiling, choose what "age" she wants to be, and can appear and disappear at will. The mystery aspects are also well done with plenty of suspects and I was kept guessing as to the identity of the killer until the end. This was the type of book where I came to care for certain characters and hoped they weren't the guilty party."Ghost in Trouble" is another great cozy mystery by Carolyn Hart. less
