About this listen
Spiritual medium Emma Whitecastle knows a good ghost when she feels one - like her own sweet Granny Apples, long gone but still as famous for her apple pies as she is for helping her great-great-great-granddaughter get to the core of the most baffling mysteries...
When Emma gets word of a sticky spirit problem in Las Vegas, she and the ghost of Granny Apples hit the road for Sin City. The spooked one is Dolly, a former showgirl. Dolly is haunted by Lenny, a dead Vegas hood worried about an aging mobster named Nemo coming after the leggy old bombshell. Dolly’s playing dumb, but Emma’s making a blind bet that she knows more about Nemo than she admits.
When Nemo is found dead, Dolly goes missing - and lands herself on a short list of suspects. Emma, Granny, and their pals comb Las Vegas to find her, only to discover the truth behind a casino heist gone bad, a hidden stash of stolen loot, and a missing wise guy who’s not letting death come between him and setting things straight. And Emma and Granny Apples aren’t about to fold until they save Dolly’s neck and put her past to rest.

Take a gamble on this book you won't regret it
I enjoyed this book. This is the fourth adventure for Granny Apples and Emma and by far my favourite (I think?!?) Mainly because Granny the ghost plays a much bigger role in the investigation and I loved all the ghostly goings on. You don't need to have read the previous books, as it is a stand one book but it is such a fun series and it helps with the continuity of the series if you do. This book focuses on Emma's friend and mentor Milo, so you get to learn more about his background, which was interesting. The story and mystery was a lot of fun and with the strong cast of characters it is an engaging story. I hope there are more books to come in the series.
Emma is visiting las Vegas, her friend and mentor's mother has a ghost problem. Milo her son gets stage fright and he has never been able to talk to ghosts in front of her, which is why he asks Emma and her ghostly companion Granny Apples for help. It appears a ghost is living or hiding out in a light bulb and if that wasn't strange enough she call it Lenny the light bulb. Before they can even say so much as say boo to the ghost Dolly, Milo's mother, goes missing and a fortune teller talks of a death. Dolly had blown off a meal with her son and girlfriend to visit a resident in a nursing home, a man who dies shortly after her visit. Does Dolly know more about the ghostly Lenny than she is letting on? And is she connected to the death in the home? Emma is soon visited by the dead man's ghost claiming he has Dolly and if they ever want to see her alive again then thy had better give him back what is his? Emma has to talk a shy ghost around so she can find out what is really going on. The three obviously have a past but with two dead can they really hurt the only one living? And with a fortune teller also missing it seems that the good guys are not the only ones with ghosts helping. Emma and Granny is about to find out, can they find both missing women before time is called?
Sandra Murphy is one of my favourite narrators, as she continuously gives an excellent performance and I am so glad she is the narrator for this series.
