21st in the series. No need to read these in order. Albert puts herbalist China Bayles off to the side and focuses this book on her business partner Ruby. It's a straight-up ghost story with a bank robbery tacked on to the end, and much more "woo-woo" than any of the others. Ruby turns into a full-fledged psychic, fighting her abilities all the way, while staying at the haunted home of a friend. Flashbacks of the hurricane in 1900 that wiped out Galveston TX give the reader information about what's happened while Ruby and her friend have to figure it out. China shows up at the end to help, with the 3 of them trapped in the house by a tropical storm. While I like supernatural mysteries, this didn't do much for me as a sample. The flashbacks were very interesting and I think the book would have been better if Albert had come up with a "cold case" or similar instead of the ghost stuff.
