   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) cfk | Mar 20, 2016 |  When thirteen-year-old Katie Davenport makes a wish on a star, asking for help for her mom, it comes to the attention of Supervisor Wiggins in Heaven’s Department of Good Intentions. And he knows exactly who to send to help Deirdre Davenport: Bailey Ruth Raeburn, ghostly gumshoe extraordinaire . . . well, if you don’t count her tendency to contravene a few of those all-important Precepts whenever she’s dispatched to earth on a rescue mission. Deirdre Davenport, currently attending a writers’ conference, is struggling to support her two children, and is hoping to land a faculty position in the Goddard College English department to end her financial woes. When Jay Knox, the professor in charge of the conference, turns up dead, suspicion falls on Deirdre and soon she is implicated in the murder of a second conference attendee, who just happens to be the only other person being considered for the position she hopes to fill at the college. Bailey Ruth has her ethereal hands full trying to prove Deirdre’s innocence while tracking down the real culprit and doing everything possible to be an inspiring muse for Deirdre, who’s also suffering from a severe case of writer’s block . . . . “Ghost to the Rescue,” the latest installment of the Bailey Ruth Ghost novels, is an amusing, delightful treasure filled with believable characters, droll humor, and a healthy dose of panache. Will Bailey Ruth, in her inimitable fashion, find a way to complete her assignment and bring about a happy ending for Deirdre and her family before Wiggins demands she return from her earthly adventure? Twists and turns weave their way through this well-constructed, engrossing plot. As time grows short for both Bailey Ruth and Deirdre, the suspense deepens in this top-notch mystery that will keep the pages turning and the readers guessing right up to the big reveal. Highly recommended. (  ) jfe16 | Sep 15, 2015 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheBailey Ruth (6)
"New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Hart's ghostly gumshoe Bailey Ruth Raeburn is frequently amusing...but this is the first time she's been a muse. When you wish upon a star, you get...Bailey Ruth? You do if you're a little girl whose mom needs help and you touch the soft heart of Supervisor Wiggins at Heaven's Department of Good Intentions. Granted it's not the usual task of an emissary, but then again Bailey Ruth is not your usual emissary. So Wiggins dispatches the spunky spirit to her old hometown of Adelaide, Oklahoma, to help a single mother and struggling writer find some creative solutions to her problems. Deidre Davenport is just about broke, trying to support her two children, and has her hopes pinned on getting a faculty job with the Goddard College English department. Jay Knox, who is in charge of the writer's conference she's participating in, will decide who gets the job, but he's more interested in her body than her body of work. Not long after his advances are rejected, Knox turns up dead--and Deirdre's fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Bailey Ruth knows Deirdre is innocent, and that the professor's lewd behavior is bound to have rubbed others the wrong way. Now she must find out who really knocked off Knox...if Deirdre and her family are ever going to have a happy ending"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
