Introducing sleuth Pepper Martin...
And now, in her fourth hip, quirky mystery, she's all ours.
Pepper Martin, heiress-turnedcemetery- tour-guide, often has her hands full with two hotties and the ghosts who won't let her rest—or work, or shop—in peace.
Now the specter of a young woman in a lab coat wants Pepper's help. Before the woman died, she worked with a sexy, mysterious doctor who coincidentally once saved Pepper's life—and who the woman claims is now in danger. But Pepper doesn't know that there's more to the story, including a devious doctor—and an obsessive, crazy love.
Sass and the supernatural cross paths in the entertaining fourth Penelope "Pepper" Martin mystery (after 2007's Tombs of Endearment). Perky, fashion-conscious Pepper, a Cleveland cemetery tour guide and PI for the dead, hopes for a reprieve from ghostly visitors while at a cemetery conference in Chicago. Instead, she lands a gig representing the ghost of snide researcher Madeline Tremayne. Madeline warns that saintly psychologist Dr. Hilton Gerard is working on a shady study-patients go in but they don't come out-and Dan Callahan, his assistant and Pepper's occasional savior, is unwittingly poised to take the fall. Pepper proves once again that great style, quick wit and a sharp eye can solve any mystery, though the rushed conclusion is a little over the top and may disappoint series fans. (Jan.)

She didn't get the job, but she did get the idea for the Pepper Martin mystery series. Casey learned to love mysteries early thanks to her father, a Cleveland Police detective who enjoyed Sherlock Holmes stories and spent his days off searching for stolen cars—with Casey along for the ride. Later, she read her way through every mystery on the library shelves. Casey has a degree in English and a background in journalism and teaching.

May 14, 2009: Pepper Martin is on a business trip in Chicago at a cemetery conference. She thought she left all the ghosts behind, but Madeline, a young woman in a lab coat, asks Pepper to help Dan Callahan. Madeline says he's in danger. Madeline is difficult to deal with, and as Pepper starts looking into things, she finds out they are much more complicated than Madeline made them out to be. Dr. Hilton Gerard, Dan's boss, is using him as the fall guy for misappropriation of funds and Dan doesn't know it.
When a very bizarre twist of events happens, Pepper finds it ever more challenging to investigate than normal. Can she help Dan as well as herself?I love this series. While I'm not big into ghosts, I find these books to be well-written and enjoyable. I usually laugh out loud through them.Pepper is such a likeable character, and her interactions with the ghosts are hilarious. I can't wait for the next book! I highly recommend this book and series.
