Publisher Description
When the bitterly cold days of January descend on Cleveland, Bailey Burke finds her “Put It Where?” home staging business is as frozen as her toes. The only bright spot is the return of her friend Ryan after his, ahem, eviction from heaven. Especially since no other dead people seem to be harassing her in recent weeks.
Yet when her grandmother’s bingo buddy turns up frozen solid in a stranger’s back yard, Bailey is the only one who finds the death suspicious. Bailey knows fashion and she knows Vera, a one-time film star, would not be caught dead, literally, in a stained nightgown and cheetah-print boots. Determined it prove it is homicide and not dementia, she enlists Ryan’s help to investigate, despite his ghostly limitations.
This time Bailey is ready to play it smart, solve the crime, have the bad guy do the time… only all is fair game when it comes to eccentric backstabbing biddies at bingo.
Customer Reviews
Great cozy paranormal mystery
Vera, her grandmother’s vibrant and outgoing friend, lived life with passion and a great sense of style. After spending the day shopping with Vera and her grandmother, Bailey was shocked that Vera had been found frozen to death in her backyard that same night. Bailey is a medium and her ghost friend Jake shows up saying they have a quota. Vera also shows up, meaning it was murder. The police believe she was just a mixed up old lady, so it is left up to Bailey to solve her murder.
This is a great paranormal cozy mystery about a woman who sees ghosts. The characters are full of personality and are likeable if not a bit kooky and unique. The murder mystery is chalked full of dead ends, surprising twists, dangerous situations and unerpected obstacles. The main character has to juggle her family, friends, romantic interest, her job, and demanding ghosts, all while trying to solve a murder no one believes is a murder. It is witty, charming and funny. This book is part of the Murder By Design series but can be read as a stand-alone, only be prepared to want to read all the books in the series.
