7th in series.
Ive been following Pepper from the very beginning, and I have to say, shes definitely grown as a character. Since Quin dumped her, shes now very independant(as she usually is) and is sought out by a young ghost on a rapid train. Pepper learns that the ghost is Lucy Pasternack, an old friend of her boss, Ella. Ella is haunted by Lucy's dissapearacne, and Pepper is determined to find Lucy's killer and body, after Ella's daughter Ariel dissapeard for a day. They are trying to teach Ariel the importance of saftey and checking in, etc. Ariel then takes a liking to Pepper, and soon becomes her clone detective. Pepper has a lot of clues to unravel, even when one of the suspects turns up dead. Pepper is never really in any immediate danger during this book, but it was somber like, and i honestly felt sorry for the victim. But nothing could have prepared me for the shocking ending on the very last line of the book.
Anyways, this was a tightly woven plot with lots of twists and secrets. It was almost like watching a "Cold Case" episode. I am thanking my lucky stars that there will be another in the series, although Im not sure which direction the author is going to take this series.

What happened to a teenager named Lucy one night in 1966 after a Beatles concert? She rushed the stage, kissed Paul, started home with her friends, and was never seen again -- until cemetery guide and unintentional PI to the dead Pepper Martin sees her as a ghost. Lucy's spirit can't rest in peace until her body is found and buried. But how will Pepper track down a missing corpse after forty-five years?

I liked book #7 of the the Pepper Martin series, however, it was my least favorite. This time her ghost isn't from the graveyard, but from a train ride...and this ghost doesn't pop up unanounced everywhere Pepper goes. There was less speaking with the ghost and more time was spent with Ella and her daughter. Between the three of them they do their investigating, and followup to catch the killer.
Pepper is evolving in this book, so I look forward to the next chapter in her life. I also hope Quinn makes more of an appearance as her love interest.
This is a fun series and I hope Casey Daniels keeps it interesting.

I've read all of the titles in this series in order, but it's been awhile since I've read #6. But, as always, I forget how great these books are until I start reading one again. This one was very good. I look forward to reading #8 !
Loved it! Great story thay kept me reading from the first page until the last!!!
