"Dark
dealings being blamed on her." -- Wiggins, Ghost
Wanted
Bailey
Ruth is enjoying a beautiful day in heaven when a telegram
pops in her hand. Wiggins' is calling her to the Department
of Good Intentions. Bailey Ruth assumes it the usual divine
intervention with someone in Adelaide, Oklahoma until she
meets sees Wiggins. Wiggins seems overly concerned and preoccupied.
This is serious.
Wiggins
sends Baily Ruth to the Goddard College library where she
meets war veteran Ben Douglas and with the library's local
legend - and ghost - Lorraine Marlow. Miz Marlow and Wiggins
have a history and this is why Wiggins stressed the Precepts
before Baily Ruth left the train. It seems Miz Marlow is known
for her matchmaking using roses, but someone is laying much
darker deeds at her feet. A break-in leads to murder and a
young woman is the first suspect. Bailey Ruth goes to extremes
to find the murderer and clear Lorraine's reputation. Baily's
also wants to bring Lorraine to heaven so she can be reunited
with her husband and Wiggins, but Lorraine isn't interested.
Hart
gives readers plenty of clues and suspects and Bailey Ruth
and Wiggins once again entertain us with their interaction.
Bailey has a bit of fun sharing her love of clothes and food
with Lorraine, and, as always, the threatening sound of wheels
on a celestial train track followed by the smell of coal smoke
keeps Bailey Ruth on her toes. Most of all, Wiggin's life
before the red brick train station and Rescue Express are
revealed. Discovering the man he was on earth is quite touching.
