Condition: Good. In this delightful cozy mystery, Sarah Booth Delaney follows a winding trail of murder and deception into a world where ghosts make fashion statements--and where one person's miracle is another person's mayhem. "Funny, ingenious, and down-home delightful."--Dallas Morning News Doreen Mallory is beautiful, mysterious--and claims to have the gift of healing. But why couldn't she save her own daughter, who died mysteriously at ten weeks? Convinced of Doreen's guilt, local law is asking the same questions--and it'll take a modern-day miracle for P.I. Sarah Booth Delaney to prove her innocence. Especially when Doreen refuses to talk about the men in her life. Like the shady televangelist . . . or the married politician with ties to the Mob. Either of them could be little Rebekah's father; either of them could also be her killer. With Halloween approaching and her own personal life up for grabs, Sarah Booth could use a little faith healing herself. And she'd better be prepared for the fallout of her most unpopular case yet--especially when a decades-old secret explodes, unleashing a storm of fury on Sarah Booth and all those she loves.…

Condition: Good. Meet Sarah Booth Delaney, an unconventional Southern belle whose knack for uncovering the truth is about to make her the hottest detective in Zinnia, Mississippi . . . if it doesn't make her the deadest. "[Carolyn Haines is] a writer of exceptional talent."--The Milwaukee Journal No self-respecting lady would allow herself to end up in Sarah Booth's situation. Unwed, unemployed, and over thirty, she's flat broke and about to lose the family plantation. Not to mention being haunted by the ghost of her great-great-grandmother's nanny, who never misses an opportunity to remind her of her sorry state--or to suggest a plan of action, like ransoming her friend's prize pooch to raise some cash. But soon Sarah Booth's walk on the criminal side leads her deeper into unladylike territory, and she's hired to solve a murder. Did gorgeous, landed Hamilton Garrett V really kill his mother twenty years ago? And if so, what is Sarah Booth doing falling for this possible murderer? When she asks one too many questions and a new corpse turns up, she is suddenly a suspect herself . . . and Sarah Booth finds that digging up the bones of the past could leave her rolling over in her grave.…
