Bailey Burke has had a rough six months—it’s not easy thinking your romantic overtures toward your best friend caused him to kill himself. Except that’s exactly what happened. Ryan is very much dead, having shot himself with his own police-issued gun. Guilt and grief shouldn’t cause hallucinations though, but six months after Ryan went into the ground, Bailey is freaking out and swearing his … ghost is standing in her kitchen. Which he is…
Ryan claims he didn’t commit suicide, but was murdered, and he needs Bailey to help him find his killer so he can earn his ticket out of purgatory. Ryan’s counting on a stairway to heaven, as opposed to wings, since that might be a little unmanly for a cop, even a dead one.
An expert in home design, with her own staging business, Bailey can tell you where to place a couch to improve flow and comfort, but solving a crime? Not her area of expertise. But with help from Ryan’s former partner, Marner, she is unraveling the mystery of what happened to Ryan that day… and unwittingly putting herself in grave danger.

It was a cute easy to read book with some chuckles in there.
Good twist at the end
Funny, the first pages really pull you in, need to read the next one!
I didn’t care for the characters.
Seemed to drag
First novelist needs work on plot and characters!
An entertaining read, enjoyed the plot. Interesting characters.
I have somewhat mixed feelings about this book, It was a good story, but I was disappointed with the ending. I also felt that certain characters were not very well developed, but that might be rectified in the next book.
Good read, delightful.

Entertaining

A terrific read. Can’t wait to read the remaining novels in the series.
Looking forward to more!
I enjoyed the twist and turns. I also liked how an additional story could begin.
Very clever writing
Enjoyed this book.
I usually don’t like “ghost” stories but the way in which the ghost in question discovers how bad his choices in life led to his death really were thought provoking.
Was a little slow at first but once it drew me in I couldn’t put it down.
