Eve Dallas finds herself with two murders set a century apart to solve in Haunted in Death. Though Eve refuses to believe in ghosts, she may have to deal with one as she once more takes care of the dead. Whether as Nora Roberts> or J.D. Robb, this is one author you can always trust to entertain you.

In Poppy's Coin, Mary Blayney tells of a magical coin that makes wishes come true in unexpected ways. The story is sweet and old fashioned, with only a hint of paranormal activity, and what magic there is could be explained away if you simply want a historical story.

The Passenger, by Ruth Ryan Langan, uses a plane crash to bring about spiritual healing for two unlikely lovers as they literally face the ghosts of their pasts. Though sweet, this is the weakest link of the book, with a rambling style that makes it hard to enjoy.

Finally, the anthonlogy rounds out with a very pleasant surprise in Mellow Lemon Yellow by Mary Kay McComas. Charlotte's father's funeral brings an old friend back into her life; a very handsome man named Mel (short for Mellow Lemon Yellow). No, his parents were not hippies, he's a living, breathing imaginary friend come to life, and someone Charlotte could love, but is he right for her, or is there a deeper purpose to Mel's visit. He's outrageous, funny, and loveable. Yet, for all the laughs, this is the most poigant tale in the book. Keep a hanky on hand when you read it.
