A Ghost for Maggie

In Finding Mr. Right, Carmichael sent to earth a naughty angel disguised as a dog to atone for her sins from a previous life. This time, she entertains with a mischievous ghost in the form of Robin Rowe, madam of Robin's Nest, the hottest whorehouse in Jerome, Ariz.--or at least Robin was, until Jack Schmidt shot her dead in the outhouse. Now, in the present day, Robin haunts her old digs while playing matchmaker to great-great-granddaughter Maggie Potter, who has turned Robin's Nest into a historically themed B&B. Determined to find Maggie a suitable husband, Robin sets her sights on the unlikely Colby Drake, a reporter who's writing an expos on Maggie and her ex-lover, a prominent politician. Robin's antics come off as Ghostbusters-esque slapstick, but her narrative boasts enough spice and humor to save an overplotted, overpopulated tale. (Aug.)
