About the Book:

Emily Hildebrandt is learning to settle into some of the very strange cases that come through the Redemption Detective Agency’s door.

Like Aunt Tilde’s friend Ruth who claims she’s lost a ghost.

How does one lose a ghost? Apparently when the ghost decides to walk out the door.

But, to make matters more complicated, it’s not just any ghost but the ghost of Ruth’s dead husband. Who was murdered decades ago under very suspicious circumstances.

Emily has no choice but to go back in time and figure out what really happened to Ruth’s husband, in order for everyone to rest in peace.

My Review:

I love this entertaining series, and I do believe this is my favorite entry so far! AND why do I have to wait until August to read book four?!? The troubles of a bookworm! 

Once again, we’re back in Redemption (and back in time – it’s the 1990s, which I love). Emily and her delightfully independent (and slightly eccentric) aunt are running their detective agency – this time they are looking for a missing ghost. But what starts out as a rather odd request, turns into a twisted mystery from 10 years ago. 

I read this in a day. It’s funny and mysterious, with so many layers. My heart hurt for Ruth, and may we all have someone like Aunt Tilde in our lives – what a champion and true friend! I could not stop turning the pages. Wonderful characters solving the unsolvable without all the high tech tools our sleuths of today have. There’s also a little bit of romantic tension that I am 100% here for. I cannot wait to get my hands on book four!!!

About the Author:

A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but she does spend much of her time writing stories now. Mystery stories, to be exact. They’re clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.

Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.

When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she’s an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she’s not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
