I enjoyed the first two Bailey Ruth books even though they were a bit on the silly side. A ghost who needs to eat and sleep and can make solid objects, like money, appear out of thin air? But this third book was terrible. Bailey Ruth spent the entire book admiring herself in mirrors, telling herself how beautiful her red hair was and how smart and clever she was. Ugh! She changed clothes constantly and admired her clothes constantly. The descriptions of each new outfit got old. The book got a little too preachy. Bailey Ruth got holier than thou about what was acceptable to Heaven and what was a sin. She almost derailed the murder investigation by refusing to spy on a FAKE seance because anything to do with the occult was a sin. I never wanted to strangle a fictional character before. When she started quoting Leviticus I said that's it, I'm done. By the end of the book I was really disliking Bailey Ruth. If the author writes any more Bailey Ruth books, I won't be wasting any credits on them.
