Ok, Carolyn Haines!! This is the 21^st book in the series. Most of my reviews say that I have not read the previous books in the series, however, I have read fifteen of the previous books. I have not been able to get my greedy paws on a copy of the other books, whether it be ARC or the book being too old for the library to carry. I LOVE THESE books with every part of my being! The characters are like family at this point and I look forward to the adventures that Sarah Booth Delaney will go on with her highly developed characters that she keeps as company. I do NOT know why Sarah Booth Delaney is not on my TV! By the end of this year, there will be 25 of these books! Alison Sweeney would make the PERFECT Sarah Booth with her horse-riding skills. Alison Janney would make a great Jitty with her physical comedy twist on the ghostly character. Reese Witherspoon would make a perfect Tinkie! I just want to say that I thought all of this PRIOR to reading this book, as there is a Reese reference in this book!

This book takes place in the Deep South at a super exclusive and isolated Bexley B&B. We barely make it an entire chapter before good ol’ Jitty, Sarah Booth Delaney’s resident ghost makes an appearance as a nutty woman in a toga. This B&B was fully complete with sunrise Mass, The Holy Land made to scale and a walking tour that gave attendees the chance to see geography of the Middle East and the travels of Jesus of Nazareth. What better place for Easter mass? Sarah Booth Delaney decides to tour the Holy Land by themselves so they could examine the wonderful plaques and biblical significance of each. As they come across Jerusalem, they discover a body, a dead body. Sarah and Tinkie tend to find things like this ALL THE TIME! Sarah is a private detective and Tinkie is a DG from the south. That is Daddy’s Girl. This is just the beginning of the adventure. The story of who the body is quickly discovered, but why and who killed him and the cause is a long process. We encounter some gunshots, danger and did I mention Tinkie is pregnant-FINALLY! So much happens in this book and it is so much fun and would make an amazing TV series! I really hope that someone options this and SOON! This is the kind of TV we need right now!
