Helpful Score: 5


Never let it be said that Pepper Martin cant solve a murder case.

In this 6th installment, Pepper is now solving the murder of one of the living, and using the help of the dead to aide her.

After Marjorie Klinker, a cemetary volunteer, is found dead after being pushed over a stair case, Pepper and Ex-beau Quin go neck and neck to solve the crime. Disliked as she was, Marjorie was determined to prove she was related to the former President Garfield, and was a hardcore collector of his memoribilia. With a suspect list a mile long, including Nick Klinker (Marjories' nephew), Jack MacArthur (history teacher from Indiana), Ted Studebaker (antique Collector) Doris and Ray, (fellow volunteers) and Gloria (Marje's nosy busybody neighbor) Pepper has a time putting together all the clues to solve the murder.

Throw in a stalker, a credit card scandel, a smart and savvy new detective, ex-lax brownies, and a document that could have changed US history, and you have a fun, fast paced ghostly mystery full of twists and turns.

I never did guess the killer until the reveal, but Pepper does a good job eliminating the suspects one by one. We are left in closing with Pepper off to visit the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, and Pepper hearing the song playing "Its been a Hard Day's Night"
