Alice Carpenter has amazing gifts. She can not only see ghosts and talk to them, but she can chastise them for misbehaving (and if necessary banish them!). Along with a unique ghost hunting team (her aunt Twila Brown and "Granny" Chisholm) Alice packs up her her pets Trucker and Miss Molly and heads to the Red Dollar Hotel where the ghosts have been seriously acting up. As Granny says, "It's time to get up close and personal with them troublemakers!" Ghostly presences reveal themselves the moment Alice and Granny arrive at the hotel; a long-dead cowboy tips his Stetson to Alice and the ghost-hunting begins in earnest. It's not just the ghosts who are on the scene, though. Alice makes a grisly discovery; a woman's body is hanging from the rafters. What started out as a ghostly haunting is now a murder scene. As always, the dialogue is witty, the suspense is heart-pounding and the characters draw you right into the story. I loved WINTER PREY and have been waiting for another release from this talented author. You don't have to read books 1 and 2 to enjoy DEAD MAN HAND--but you will certainly want to! This book was a delight.
