Publisher Description
Carolyn Hart—New York Times bestselling author of Ghost to the Rescue—returns with a new Bailey Ruth Ghost Novel in which one woman shatters the glass ceiling...with a little help from beyond.
Bailey Ruth Raeburn’s latest mission is to guide the happy-go-lucky spirit of a deceased young man named Jimmy to the next life. But Jimmy is determined to watch over his still-living girlfriend, Megan, whom he wants to be happy even without him—which is easier said than done.
As if being haunted by her late boyfriend wasn’t enough, Megan is dealing with an arrogant, manipulative senior partner who threatens to fire Megan’s vulnerable secretary if Megan accepts a partnership at another law firm. She’s in an impossible bind.
Since Jimmy refuses to move on while Megan is being blackmailed, Bailey Ruth agrees to help him. But after the partner turns up dead and Megan is found at the crime scene, Bailey Ruth and Jimmy have to find a way to uncover a killer before the love of Jimmy’s life is ordered to spend a lifetime behind bars...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Hart's charming fourth Bailey Ruth Raeburn novel (after 2015's Ghost to the Rescue), red-headed, fashion-conscious ghost Bailey Ruth has been so successful with her unorthodox methods of helping troubled souls that Wiggins, director of Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, decides she's just the emissary to persuade the late Jimmy Taylor, who recently drowned in a kayak accident on Oregon's Snake River, to mount the golden staircase. But Jimmy refuses to abandon his troubled, still-living girlfriend, Megan Wynn, who has a chance to become a partner in a new law firm, a move that her manipulative boss, Doug Graham, opposes. Graham tells Megan that if she leaves his firm, he will fire her secretary, leaving the woman and her sick child with no health insurance. When someone bashes in Graham's head, Megan becomes the prime suspect in his murder. Bailey Ruth teams with Jimmy to clear Megan's name and free all concerned to get on with their lives and afterlives. Replete with relatable characters, this cleverly plotted tale will keep readers guessing until the end.
Customer Reviews
Highly entertaining!
Ghost Times Two by Carolyn Hart is the seventh book in A Bailey Ruth Ghost series. Bailey Ruth Raeburn receives a telegram from Wiggins to report for duty. Bailey Ruth is excited to have a new assignment. There is a ghost on Earth who refuses to ascend to Heaven in Adelaide, Oklahoma (Bailey Ruth’s hometown). Bailey Ruth is being sent to Earth as an emissary (Wiggins word) to convince the spirit to enter Heaven. James “Jimmy” Taylor has not moved on because of Megan Wynn. Megan is the love of Jimmy’s life, and Jimmy does not wish to leave her. Megan, though, is ready to move on with her life, but she cannot as long as she keeps hearing Jimmy (she can hear him but cannot see him). Bailey Ruth has to convince him to leave Megan and move on. Unfortunately, Megan has gotten herself into a little bit of a pickle. Her boss is murdered and Megan is found at the scene with blood on her hands (someone set her up). Now Bailey Ruth needs to solve to murder and get Jimmy to Heaven. Join Bailey Ruth on her latest adventure in Ghost Times Two.
I found Ghosts Times Two to be highly entertaining. I love the antics of Bailey Ruth. This mystery is harder to solve. It is one that plays out (though you can take a stab at solving it, and then wait to see if you are right). Ghost Times Two can be read as a stand-alone novel. The author brings the reader up-to-date on Bailey Ruth (how she died and became an emissary as well as information about her family and some past antics). I give Ghost Times Two 4.25 out of 5 stars. I do think we get to hear a little too much about Bailey Ruth’s various fashions. She changes clothes quite often (she does have a good fashion sense though). I enjoyed Ghost Times Two, and I eagerly look forward to reading about Bailey Ruth's next adventure.
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. The comments and opinions expressed are strictly my own.
