North Archer, Andie Miller's ex-husband, asks her to become the guardian of two orphans who have driven out three nannies already--and live in a haunted house! What follows is a hilarious adventure in exorcism, including a self-doubting parapsychologist, an annoyed medium, her Tarot-card reading mother, an avenging ex-mother-in-law, and, of course, her jealous fiancé. And just when Andie thinks things couldn't get more complicated, North shows up on the doorstep making her wonder if "maybe this time" things could be different between them.
I procrastinated reading this book, even though I'm a huge Jennifer Crusie fan, because this one sounded a bit 'meh'. But I was completely wrong. A great ghost story with a strong main character that is typical of Jennifer Crusie's fiction. This was a quick, fun read that was just a tiny bit tense at times, with not all the ghosts being of the friendly variety. I really enjoyed it and it is sure to become one of my Crusie favourites, along with Agnes and the Hitman and Fast Women.
