★★★★½ I’ve been meaning to try one of Carolyn Hart’s books for a while now. Glad I picked this one to start. I love a cozy mystery and I needed a Halloween theme for a challenge; this one fit the bill perfectly.

Ghost at Work is the first book in the Bailey Ruth Series. The synopsis sounded pretty good basically a ghost from another era helping solve mysteries during modern times and stirring up some commotion while doing it.
I love the idea and overall it was a decent read it was just a bit too corny at times. I'm all for cozy mysteries and will probably give the second book a try, just hope the cutesy bit is toned down some as the series progresses. ...more

I just decided to look on Overdrive for a book for a challenge I am doing. This book fit the challenge and I decided to give it a go. It was a cute story.
Bailey Ruth is dead and doesn't let death stop her from solving mysteries. A man is murdered and left on the porch of a church. Bailey goes back to help solve the murder. When Bailey picks up things it looks like the items are floating. This has a tendency to cause a little panic. I am glad I chose this book to read. ...more
