Many years ago Bailey Ruth Raeburn and her husband died on their cabin cruiser during a storm, and now the both reside in heaven. As lovely as eternal life is, Bailey wants to be more useful so she decides to see if she can join the Department of Good Intentions. She is recruited on the spot and sent down to earth to help someone who has just got into big trouble. That someone is Kathleen Abbott, a pastor’s wife; she has just discovered a body on her porch and is wondering what to do. There are rules for the heavenly emissaries but Bailey hasn’t any time to be trained, so all she has is a copy of the rules in her hot little hand when she arrives. She manages to break most of them in her first few hours on the job.
It doesn’t take Bailey very long to find out that the victim, Daryl Murdoch, is not quite the upstanding citizen and dedicated church member he appears to be. It seems there is a rather long list of people who have good reasons to want Daryl dead; including Kathleen and her pastor husband, Bill. Bailey slowly begins to narrow the suspects down and the suspense builds amongst the laughs until all is revealed at the end.
A very enjoyable cozy with a twist. Great, fun read.
