Story
Yes. I'm the daughter of the infamous couple, June Heal and Oscar Park. One teeny weeny problem, I'm a mortal. Yep. I guess I got my granny Darla's DNA. Good news! I might not have spiritual powers but I have a mean set of baking skills. I'm delighted to be moving out of Whispering Falls, where y'all know I can't live since I'm mortal, and to Celestial Falls, another small Southern town where I'm opening Heavenly Desserts. Of course, The Marys wouldn't let me leave unless I took my new kitten with me.

Bopped on the head from a falling plastic Santa, local undertaker Emma Lee Raines is told she's suffering from "funeral trauma." It's trauma all right, because the not-so-dearly departed keep talking to her. Take Ruthie Sue Payne - innkeeper, gossip queen, and arch-nemesis of Emma Lee's granny - she's adamant that she didn't just fall down those stairs. She was pushed. Ruthie has no idea who wanted her pushing up daisies, but she can't cross over until the matter is laid to eternal rest. Emma Lee's high-school crush, Sheriff Jack Henry Ross, isn't ready to rule out foul play.

The AI voice bothered me, but I wanted to hear the story so I did not give up on the book.
I enjoyed the book. The AI reading still doesn’t replace the human voice. I have listened to many of Tanya Kappes’ books and miss the voice inflections.

A delightful surprise!
I've so enjoyed getting to know some of Tonya's earlier characters, and I'm really grateful for the AI option to be able to listen to it. I know some folks complain, but I don't think it's bad at all! I listen at 1.2 speed and just get sucked into the stories!! This one had lots of twists and turns that kept me on my toes! I'm going to get the next book in the series, as soon as I finish writing this review! 😁

AI Voice disconcerting
AI version unlistenable. Can't say much about the story because there is no difference in voices between the characters making it impossible to follow. This was a free audio book through my Audibke membership.
