"Ghost at Work" by Carolyn Hart

The prolific author of the Death on Demand series is at it again with a new mystery maven, this one a heavenly spirit named Bailey Ruth Raeburn. There is promise at the end that Bailey Ruth may be back for more delightful and frequently funny mysteries.

The premise is that Bailey Ruth, a member of the heavenly Department of Good Intentions, is sent to earth to rescue of a second cousin in her hometown of Adelaide, Oklahoma. Through a series of bodily appearances and ghostly disappearances Bailey manages to figure out who killed the vestry president and attempted to frame the Episcopalian parish priest and his wife. Every time Bailey reveals herself she incurs the disapproval of her heavenly supervisor, Wiggins.

I'm looking forward to meeting Bailey again. Through Carolyn Hart's masterful skill she spins a good tale.
