In Agatha-winner Hart's charming third mystery featuring ghostly emissary Bailey Ruth Raeburn of heaven's "Department of Good Intentions" (after 2009's Merry, Merry Ghost), Bailey returns to earth to protect Kay Clark, a former Adelaide, Okla., acquaintance, from danger. After the fatal fall of Kay's old boyfriend, Jack Hume, at the Hume estate, the Castle, Kay pays her respects to his family at the Castle, where an enormous vase nearly flattens her. In delightful Topperesque fashion, Bailey appears to Kay in an ever-changing array of fashions as Kay's "assistant," Francie de Sales, and together they investigate Kay's brush with the vase. When they discover Jack may have been murdered, suspects range from Hume family members to two of Jack's former lovers. Often disregarding the "precepts for earthly visitation" (avoiding public notice, not consorting with other departed spirits, etc.), Bailey with her sunny Pollyanna attitude makes an irresistible cozy sleuth.
Bailey Ruth returns to Earth for the third time as a member of Heaven's Department of Good Intentions. Her mission is to save Kay Clark, her old nemesis, from attempted murder. Ann Marie Lee reprises her role as Bailey Ruth, giving her a bubbly Southern accent that complements her antics. Going undercover as Kay's assistant, Francie de Sales, Bailey Ruth fully enters the modern-day world of Adelaide, Oklahoma, her old hometown. But things are never simple, and Bailey Ruth must contend with her supervisor, Wiggins, who speaks in a proper, well-enunciated voice; her charge, Kay, who has a sultry accent; and the police chief of Adelaide, who has a gravelly voice that reflects his stereotypical small-town attitudes.
