Imagine spending eternity with your backside hanging out—that's what Emma Whitecastle and Granny Apples can't help but think when they meet the ghost of Tessa North frolicking in the surf off Catalina Island. Tessa, a young starlet who died on the island in the 1960s wearing nothing but a polka dot bikini, won't cross over until "Curtis" comes for her. To help the winsome, bikini-clad spirit, Emma and Granny must find out who Curtis is and how Tessa died. Their investigation takes them from the grit and glamour of Hollywood to Kennedy-era political intrigue-before hitting dangerously close to home. Along with a sprinkling of history, this spirited new mystery series features the amateur sleuth team of Emma Whitecastle and the spirit of her pie-baking great-great-great-grandmother, Granny Apples.

A nice little mystery: flaky with a ghostly flavor. Emma, the protagonist, is a clairvoyant with a sense of justice. She likes and respects most ghosts she sees and feels it her duty to help them anyway she can. And all her friends and family accept her talking with invisible ghosts without blinking...
Fun read and better than the 1st one. Grabbed me from the first chapter, unlike the first one. On to #3!
I think I liked the first one better - a bit less tragic - but this is a great second instalment in what I hope will be a great series. Lots of ghost action, a good murder plot which you think you see coming but with a nice little twist at the end. I like the characters and I look forward to reading...
I LOVE this series! All the character are wonderful, the plot moves right along, and it leaving you wanting even more (in a good way). My only complaint about this book is Phil. I liked him in the first book, but in this one he just comes of as a nag. In just 2 books, Granny has become one of my al...
