Marie Jenner is at it again! As she tries-one more time with feeling-to pull her life together, she takes on the case of Honoria Lowe, a woman of interest in Eddie Hansen's gruesome murder by crucifixion. Since Marie knows where Eddie Hansen's spirit is, she figures it will be a slam dunk. All she has to do is ask him who nailed him to the tree, and she'll have one in the win column for her more or less boss, James Lavall. But James thinks Honoria's either crazy or lying, and doesn't want to take her case. Worse than that, Marie can't find Eddie. He should be right by the crucifixion tree, but he isn't. Of course. There's never a ghost around when you want one.

Taking to the September meet-up of Calgary BookCrossers, held at Cravings Market Restaurant.
Brought the book home from the Meetup.
The story picks up where the first left off and I found I couldn't put the book down. Poor Marie; she seems so scattered in her thought process that I want to give her a shake to help her focus. But with all the injuries she has sustained recently that would not be helpful.
A good mystery that is deceptively more violent than the stylish cover art implies.

Released at the March meet-up of Calgary BookCrossers, held at Cravings Market Restaurant.
Picked , and WAY TOO MANY other books up at the March meet up at Cravings.
I like these books. Fast read and they make me smile. She reminds me a bit of Stephanie Plum with the lousy luck and dumb luck. Enjoy the Edmonton setting.
Well, I have a nice stack to bring back to the June meetup at Cravings. Mind you, it is 2 months worth.
Picked up at get together
