Review: Getting a little soapy...
Rating: 4 out of 5

I wanted to mention right up front that in my kindle version, purchased last week, there are no signs of those formatting issues mentioned in some reviews here, so I think it's safe to say they've corrected the worst of the mistakes (but 'drivel' is still written as 'dribble').Now to the review: Personally I'm not thrilled with the way the author is dragging out the romance between Mary and Bradley, but that's just me. I prefer my soaps on TV, not in books. I didn't even read book 3 because a reviewer gave it away that Bradley was upset with Mary at the end of the book, and why. That's how much I hate soaps...because I spotted a soap plot developing, I didn't even read a book in a series that I had been enjoying. Therefore I am annoyed that in this book the author has introduced a new character who, as a prank, has given Bradley the wrong idea as to what was going on between himself and Mary.Now to the ghost aspect: In the first two books I wasn't having too much trouble with the idea of the ghosts helping out. I was willing and able to suspend my disbelief when -sometimes- Bradley could see ghosts when he wasn't touching Mary and -sometimes- he couldn't. I don't know how strained my willing suspension of belief might have been in book 3 since I didn't read it. However, in this fourth book, it just snapped. No way do I believe either that a ghost can sign a will or that a lawyer would go along with it. Besides, does the author not know that a will signing must be witnessed and notarized?So I don't think I'm going to read any more of these books. They're a good, light read and I like the characters but enough is enough.
