Ask Aunt Emma Again

by Carol Costa

Peg MacDonald is now married to Detective John Hogan, but George's spirit continues to be part of her life. As an assistant to the popular advice columnist, Aunt Emma, Peg uncovers a letter listing the names of three people the writer claims to have killed. It is the beginning of a bizarre case with so many twists and turns that it takes Peg, John, and George to make sense of the clues and false leads the killer has put in place to lure Peg and an ex-jockey into dangerous waters.

Reviews

[Ashleen O'Gaea]

I liked this book just as well as I liked the first in the series (Ask Aunt Emma). Carol has a way with plots -- just when you think you know who did it, events veer off in a different direction. None of the twists feel contrived, and at the end, you're surprised even though it all makes sense. If you like ghost stories with a little mystery and romance thrown in, this book and the other two (so far) in the series are for you.
