“Possession in Death.” This picks up right after Indulgence in Death ends and thar be spoilers. Some comic and romantic moments between Eve and Roarke, but I prefer Dallas sans woo-woo. And how will she regain her non-believer attitude after this? 2 stars. “The Other Side of the Coin.” The magic coin from previous Blaney short stories causes a married Regency couple to do a Thorne Smith-style turnabout. Interesting premise, blah story. 2 stars.“The Dancing Ghost.” How wonderful to see Gaffney writing historical romance again! This story about an amiable ghost-hunter/con-man recruited by an inventive small town spinster to help create a haunted house reminded me a bit of her Crooked Hearts. Sweet and funny, delightful characters. 4 stars.“Almost Heaven.” A newly dead couple postpone their trip to heaven to try and save their adult daughter from a terrible mistake. Bland and sappy. And I can’t help wondering, What happens when Jake and Christina die and wind up in heaven with his first wife? Do they share? 2 stars.“Never Too Late to Love.” An isolated woman helps the ghosts of her mother and aunt pass over, while learning how to let people into her heart. I thought this might be too sappy, but it was pretty sweet. 3 stars.
