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.Aor 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.
