I really liked the first book in this new series and couldn't wait for the second. It did not disappoint me at all, was just as good as the first. Bailey Ruth is sent back to Adelaide to help protect a little boy during the Christmas season. Also involved is one of the most important families in the town, and Bailey Ruth tries her best to help them, as well as solve a murder. She's very busy, but is able to enjoy some of the Christmas season. Very funny. Highly recommend.

Back from heaven to set things right, this time for a little boy, Bailey Ruth flaunts the rules to make things right. I had a little trouble following all the characters but well written and an easy read.

Not my kind of story, about a ghost helping a little boy which I'm sure is a good story but kind of juvenile.

Right off the bad I had two problems with this book. First, I hate Christmas and the main character (angel/ghost) absolutely loves it. And second, it's very religious in nature - God and angels. Having said that I did enjoy the book but it took a long time (almost halfway) to get to the meat of the story. Angel/ghost Bailey Ruth Raeburn is dispatched from Heaven to ensure that Keith isn't murdered. Susan Flynn was sickly and didn't have long to live. She unexpectedly finds her grandson (Keith) on her front porch. A grandson she didn't know she had since her son disappeared years ago and was later killed in the war. Her entire estate ($12 million) was to be divided between her husbands family since she had none of her own until Keith arrived. The very evening that Susan told her "family" she was going to change her will so that Keith inherited most of it, she was murdered.

Unfortunately, there really isn't a single family member that is nice, they are all greedy, money hungry creatures who are certainly capable of murder. The hunt is on for her murderer and it is a round-robin was suspects and motives. Here is where Bailey Ruth makes her mark. She helps with the investigation, behind the scenes for the most part.
