Them Bones by Carolyn Haines

4.0

Sarah Booth was raised in the South as a Daddy's Girl. She was to be a wife, a society player, a pretty arm piece for her husband. You don't always end out on the same path you start on, and Sarah Booth's life took a sharp left turn. Her parents died early, her finances cut short she is reduced to poverty and the possible loss of her family estate if she can't find some major cash soon. Her ghostly advisor comes up with an idea to dognap one of her old rich acquaintances little dog Chablis. This devious act starts Sarah Booth on a road that will make her or kill her, at the least it will stir up a lot of trouble for this small town.
What did I like a out this story-
1) Sarah Booth, a Daddy's Girl who thinks, she manipulates, she considers her options, and this girl is willing to kick a bad guy when he's down and do it again because she wants to make sure he's down ! (about dang time a character did that)
2) Chablis- a vicious ball or fur that maybe weighs two pounds but the heart of a Lion.
3) The dim witted Southern Belles, who weren't as dim witted as they pretended to be.
4) Jitty- the ghost with the most fun. She has the best lines and knows how to whip her words into action.
5) the mystery, well thought out, interesting, I did not see it coming

What I didn't like
1) Womb
2) womb
3) womb
4) womb
omg my womb tingled, my womb twinges, my womb wanted something..... just not working for me. Enough wight he "womb" What is up with this authors obsession with this term ?
That was my only issue, I can't wait to get book 2.
