"Sarah Booth Delaney has moved back from NYC to her native Mississippi Delta in order to save her family home and get her life in order. It's very difficult when along with the house she has inherited a busybody ghost determined to marry Sarah Booth off-while Sarah is busy setting herself up as a PI and solve the murder of forgotten Southern literary hero, Lawrence Ambrose. Very fast paced and funny entertaining."
