"At the start of bestseller Hart's sprightly sixth Bailey Ruth ghost novel (after 2014's Ghost Wanted), 13-year-old Katie Davenport prays for help for her 36-year-old single mom, Deirdre, an author with writer's block. In dire financial straits, Deirdre is desperate to land a position teaching creative writing at Goddard University in Adelaide, Okla. Fortunately for the Davenports, Katie's pleas reach heaven's Department of Good Intentions, and Bailey Ruth Raeburn is dispatched to Earth to help out." - Publishers Weekly

New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Hart’s ghostly gumshoe Bailey Ruth Raeburn is frequently amusing…but this is the first time she’s been a muse.

When you wish upon a star, you get…Bailey Ruth? You do if you’re a little girl whose mom needs help and you touch the soft heart of Supervisor Wiggins at Heaven’s Department of Good Intentions. Granted it’s not the usual task of an emissary, but then again Bailey Ruth is not your usual emissary. So Wiggins dispatches the spunky spirit to her old hometown of Adelaide, Oklahoma, to help a single mother and struggling writer find some creative solutions to her problems.

Deidre Davenport is just about broke, trying to support her two children, and has her hopes pinned on getting a faculty job with the Goddard College English department. Jay Knox, who is in charge of the writer’s conference she’s participating in, will decide who gets the job, but he’s more interested in her body than her body of work.

Not long after his advances are rejected, Knox turns up dead—and Deirdre’s fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Bailey Ruth knows Deirdre is innocent, and that the professor’s lewd behavior is bound to have rubbed others the wrong way. Now she must find out who really knocked off Knox...if Deirdre and her family are ever going to have a happy ending.

Reviews of GHOST to the RESCUE

King's River Life
"This is my favorite of the Bailey Ruth series. Details of the writer’s conference ring true for anyone who’s attended one. As Bailey Ruth learns, writers can be ruthless, both on and off the page."


Romantic Times
“Hart’s ghostly detective Bailey Ruth uses different personae to navigate a writer’ conference in search of a killer. Bailey’s improvised sleuthing techniques often lead to amusing mishaps. A writers’ conference makes an entertaining crime setting that shows the darker side of the literary profession. This solid mystery with a paranormal twist keeps readers intrigued until the very end, when an ingenious setup corners a killer.”


Lesa's Book Critiques

"Once again, it's Ghost to the Rescue, as Bailey Ruth uses her own wiles to interview suspects, coerce cooperation, and help the desperate in Carolyn Hart's latest amusing mystery." Read the full review

Mary Lignor, Professional Librarian and Co-Owner of The Write Companion for Suspense Magazine
"Hart has done it again by bringing her character, Bailey Ruth, to the forefront in a really great cozy. She is a bestselling author of the Death on Demand series, as well as Bailey Ruth Ghost Novels, and readers will continue to look forward to every book she creates." -
